Review: Grimm Tales, The Dukes play in the park in Lancaster

Grimm Tales: Witches, Wolves, Fairies and Frogs is a fun and fresh adaptation of the famous Brothers Grimm fairy tales told as the audience follows the actors – initially disguised as park rangers – from one location to another in spectacular surroundings.

This is where things get clever, as the actors transform themselves from park rangers into witches, wolves, fairies, frogs and even a hedgehog.

This adaptation, called Grimm Tales, has been brought bang up-to-date and includes a dance routine for TikTok by Lewis Kennedy (who plays Hans), modern music, and a wolf with an Elvis Presley hairdo and Elvis jokes (played brilliantly by Clare Storey, who plays Sweetie and other characters). There were some genuinely funny lines that were cleverly woven into the play at the right time.
