Younger audiences can enjoy a magical treat unity - Liverpool when award-winning theatre company Horse+Bamboo arrive at the venue with a classic tale later this month - Red Riding Hood.
A young girl, a hungry wolf and a walk through the woods – it sounds like a recipe for disaster, but Red Riding Hood isn’t scared…
Using Horse+Bamboo’s trademark puppetry, musical talents and story-telling skills, this new show blends exquisite visuals with pantomime silliness and spooky moments to create an engrossing piece of theatre suitable with lots of twists and surprises along the way.
Suitable for children aged 4+, this new version of the timeless girl-and-the-wolf tale continues Horse+Bamboo's great reputation, as their previous successful shows include this year’s sell-out Storm In a Teacup, Little Leap Forward, and In The Shadow of Trees.

Music and story-telling is central to the company’s productions; using masks, movement, puppetry, film, and lighting to present multi-sensory creations for children.
