The forest is a place where marvels gleam in the shadows and the mysterious snake leaves bring transformation.
Over 200 years after the Grimm Brothers' magnificent collection of stories was first published, three pioneers of contemporary performance storytelling reform to bring their seminal piece, The Three Snake Leaves, to the stage once more, with new music by Sheema Mukherjee.
Seamlessly stitching together lesser-known stories from the Grimm Collection, Hugh Lupton, Ben Haggarty and Sally Pomme Clayton journey deep into a half-remembered realm of grown-up fairytale and myth. Dark, beguiling, and comedic by turn, this is an enchanted search for contemporary wisdom and a joyous exploration of the complex nature of humanity.
Come into the fairytale forest, and be prepared to stray from the path.
