Red Riding Hood, 6 December – 3 January

"One of the best Christmas shows I've ever seen!" Audience Feedback

Mission: Get to Grandma’s house!

Don’t call her Little Red Riding Hood. Her name’s Red Little. She’s never been riding. And as for the Hood...well, that’s none of your business! Or maybe it is…

“Ok…. Two paths to Grandma’s?
1. The path well plodded
2. The other is dark, dangerous and certainly NOT trodded.
Oh, and it’s just started snowing. Like, really snowing.”

Join Red Little on a howling adventure from Hexham through the woods of Northumberland this Christmas, with original music and puppetry.

From the team that brought you last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk. ‎

For audiences aged 6 - 106!

Written by Bob Nicholson, Caroline Liversdige and Paula Penman
