Introduction
In 2012 Philip Pullman published a book of retellings of 50 of the folk tales collected and published in the early 19th Century by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. In 2014 Philip Wilson adapted five of the tales for a seasons at Shoreditch Town Hall and later the same year a further seven for a season at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf. Our selection includes two well known tales - Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel - and another - The Donkey Cabbage - that is, frankly, too bonkers not to include!
