Following on from a highly successful run at Birmingham Rep, Little Red Riding Hood, will tour to 26 community venues and libraries across Birmingham and the West Midlands during January and February.

Tickets will be free or at low cost thanks to the generous support of the Sir Barry Jackson Trust and Arts Council England.

The production is directed by Rep Associate Artist Caroline Wilkes and written by Katherine Chandler, who also directed and wrote last year’s family favourite Jack and The Magic Beanstalk, making it another Rep Original that has been created especially for children aged three to six years old (and their grown-ups).

Little Red Riding Hood takes the audience on an exciting adventure, which sees Red and her Nana outwit the Big Bad Wolf through being brave, kind and a little bit chatty!

CBeebies presenter Nisha Anil plays Nana. The role of Red is played by Siobhan Cha Cha and joining them as the Wolf/Robin is actor and musician Ben Simon.
