About the Play:

Red Riding Hood is a full-length comedy by Allison Gregory. This wildly inventive and humorous adaptation puts a spin on the popular fairy tale when a delivery driver calls into question an actor's production of the "true story" of Little Red Riding Hood.

Red Riding Hood is a funny and poignant adaptation of a very well-known fable that brings us to the present, where the "Wolf" is an actor known as Wolfgang, and "Red Riding Hood" is a Delivery Person. Wolfgang, the greatest actor in the world, is preparing for the performance of his lifetime in the "true story" of Red Riding Hood when a delivery driver carrying a mysterious package interrupts his rehearsal. She boldly calls into question Wolfgang's story, adamant that he should only tell the classic tale. The wolf may have dinner plans, but this Red is courageous, clever and talented. As their story flourishes, a madcap romp through the popular fairy tale ensues. This lively adaptation is full of surprise and packed with wolf-sized humour, and reminds us that when something is important, bravery knows no bounds.

Red Riding Hood premiered in 2022 at Seattle Children's Theatre.

Cast: 1 female, 1 any gender
