Into the Woods

nto the Woods takes the stories of the Brothers Grimm and gives them a dark and humorous twist. The popular tales of Red Riding Hood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to have children. However this re-telling goes beyond happily ever after as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are shattered.

Once Upon a Time

The tales of the Brothers Grimm are retold in this inspired musical, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The tales of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ meet ‘Cinderella’ and ‘The Baker and his Wife’. Stories and lives are turned upside down in a fairytale world that goes beyond ‘happily ever after’.

Celebrating his 80th birthday this year, Stephen Sondheim (‘A Little Night Music’ and ‘Sweeney Todd’) is one of theatre’s best known composers. ‘Into the Woods’ is co-directed by Timothy Sheader, whose production of ‘Hello Dolly!’ won the 2009 Evening Standard Theatre Award for best musical.
