Theatre by the Lake in association with the Cumberland Building Society

Saturday 28 November - Saturday 9 January,

Main House

To bring our celebratory 10th anniversary season to a close, Theatre by the Lake is delighted to present six of the best traditional tales from the Brothers Grimm, retold in bold, theatrical style.

Grimm Tales promises to be a highly imaginative and inventive show that is sure to entertain, delight and surprise, where everyday objects become something quite different and live percussion music comes from the most unlikely sources. This thrilling and amusing collection includes versions of Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast - a selection box of the very best folk tales offering seasonal entertainment for all the family

Watch out! What dangers await Hansel and Gretel in the woods? Why are all those people chasing poor Dummling? And why should a mouse and a sausage never swap jobs? Find out in Grimm Tales...

“The children squealed with delight and so did I.”
