Grimm Tales Part of Unicorn Online

As part of Unicorn Online during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Unicorn is offering a range of free online theatrical experiences to be enjoyed by children across London, the UK and beyond.

Vivid new readings of six Grimm tales adapted by Philip Pullman and told by an extraordinary cast will be available to stream on the Unicorn’s YouTube channel from 5 October at 10am.

Each story will be presented by a different director: Justin Audibert, Rachel Bagshaw, Polly Findlay, Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu, Ola Ince and Bijan Sheibani.

       

Enter a perilous world of murderous step-mothers, devious Kings and fearless children. Philip Pullman’s Grimm Tales are classic fairy tales, distilled from centuries of storytelling, timeworn but honed for the next generation to discover anew.  This collection of readings, some familiar and some not so, takes us to the very heart of imagination and speaks of the things it finds there, fear, courage, compassion and wonder.

The cast of story-tellers include Nadia Albina, Le Gateau Chocolat, Colin Morgan, Cecilia Noble, Andy Umerah and Susan Wokoma who will each tell one story, creating a rich and potent world alive with the strange and the familiar.
