Fairy tales across the land live in fear. Fear for their lives, fear for their freedom and, most importantly, fear for their turnips. Why you ask? Because Little Red Riding Hood has taken control. The once sweet and innocent girl now rules The Breadcrumb Forest with an iron fist and a mob of incompetent wolves. The fairy tales of the forest needs someone brave, someone bold, and someone daring to free them from this oppression. Unfortunately for them, they’ve only got Susan. Faced with tax collecting big bad wolves, bears who’ve had too much porridge, and smorgasbords of poisoned fruit, Susan must try desperately to find a way to help the forest. If she starts a revolution along the way, well that can’t hurt anyone can it? 

Join Susan as she traverses this magical land to help aid all your favourite fairy tale characters, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Three Little Pigs, Cinderella and more as they aim to keep the literal wolves from the door. Ridiculous mishaps, outlandish love stories and a barnyard full of animals that won’t stop talking await in this riotous, rebellious comedy from Assembleth Theatre.
