A FAIRY tale character will be bought to life at a special production for children.

On Wednesday, August 22, audiences aged seven and under can enjoy Little Red Riding Hood and Friends at The Word, National Centre for the Written Word, South Shields. The show is a fun filled take on the classic fairy story in which Little Red Riding Hood comes face to face with a wolf while on her way to her grandmother’s cottage in the woods. Performed by Booster Cushion Theatre, it is very much an untraditional fairy tale and starts with Little Red Riding Hood’s friend. He begins to tell the audience a story, but, when he opens the book, he finds there are no pages. As he tries to tell the story, chaos erupts as he is joined by a whole host of fairy tale characters who try to help him finish his tale. There will be two showings, at 11am and 2pm and children.
