Charles Perrault's story of (Little) Red Riding Hood has been a popular subject for pantomime treatment since 1803, which is somewhat surprising when one considers how slender is the plotline.
Thankfully this classic tale has had the wonders of theatre, and the magic of pantomime worked on it, turning it into an evening of family entertainment that we hope will enchant and delight. Norman Robbin's pantomimes contain all the classic elements that will keep both young and old alike engaged from beginning to end.

So come with us, and supend reality for a while, as the Woodland Fairy takes you to the pretty village of Ferndale, and introduces you to its unique inhabitants.
