GRIMM

#Main Info

Happily, ever after? Never.

GRIMM, the latest tour de force from Shake & Stir Theatre Co beckons you into a world where fairytales are reimagined with a profound intensity. Be warned – these bedtime stories may cause nightmares…

Within darkened corridors and haunting landscapes, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many other intriguing characters emerge from the shadows, the truth behind their stories – warts and all – boil and bubble to the surface.

From the company behind the award-winning stage spectacles – Frankenstein, Jane Eyre and A Christmas Carol – comes this bold adaption of tales from the Brothers Grimm in a bewitching theatre experience.

Adapted by Nelle Lee, directed by Daniel Evans and costumes designed by Australian fashion icon Paul McCann – expect a lavish, loud and lucid night.

Tuck yourself in…

A delightfully chaotic romp through the darker corners of fairy tale lore.

The Fame Reporter

GRIMM is a wonderfully irreverent re-imagining of the iconic tales we all know and love.

The Blurb

Shake & Stir – energised as always by inventive stagecraft – have managed to spin straw into gold.

This is a play of extremes that impels you to laugh, tremble and leave your etiquette at the door.

I had an absolute blast seeing Grimm and if you love horror with a heart, you will too.
