THE
GRANDMOTHERS GRIMM
Cannibalism, werewolf trials, deceit, and murder... Marie Hassenpflug and the Brothers Grimm are editing the darkness out of old stories. Little by little, the voices of the storytellers who created the tales are eroded away. What will be saved and what will be forgotten?
​
The Grandmothers Grimm explores women’s role in the creation of the Brothers Grimm’s famous anthology. Discover a night of folk and fairy tales unlike any you've heard before.
Edinburgh literary theatre company, Some Kind of Theatre are proud to return The Grandmothers Grimm to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer.
​
This show is also available for Theatre On The Sofa performances.
