Apparently, in the original story Red Riding Hood was a charcoal-burner's daughter. Now, how the heck does a charcoal-burner make money? Nevermind, the point is he had a daughter with very eye-catching outerwear and a penchant for spotting wolves where so many of us would see an old lady.
Anyhoo, this is Norwich Puppet Theatre's retelling of the classic fairytale and they hark back to the story's origins and aspects of the Brother's Grimm version where all that charcoal burning is probably relevant. Fun, puppets and and very sneaky wolf is what this half-term puppet show is all about.
