Castle Players present a fairy-tale mash-up in Lytchett Matravers

‘Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs – Babe in the Hood’ will be staged at Lytchett Matravers Village Hall in January.

Castle Players are to present ‘Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs – Babe in the Hood’ on 23, 24, 30 and 31 January at Lytchett Matravers Village Hall.

This is a brand-new fairy-tale mash-up written and directed by member of the company Phil McMullen. Packed with colourful characters, catchy songs and more silliness than ever, it’s the perfect family treat to kick off the New Year.

In this topsy-turvy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, her no-nonsense Granny, and the Three Little Pigs all find themselves facing the Big Bad Wolf at the same time. Add in Hansel and Gretel, a wicked witch, and a handful of dodgy comedy characters, and you’ve got the recipe for a magical adventure suitable for all ages.

There will be plenty of “Oh no he didn’t!”, audience participation, slapstick mayhem and a heart-warming story at its centre.

Tickets are available via castleplayers.com/tickets or 07771 444376.

Whether you fancy trying your hand at acting, helping backstage, assisting with costumes, make-up, set building, lighting, sound — or even just making tea and joining in the fun — there’s a place for everyone.
