It’s not often that you find a good play text that not only contains a great script, but that is perfect for group work. This book is it! Not only containing 1 script but it has as many as 15 different short scripts! This book is a volume of the famous Grimm Tales which have been adapted into short scripts by the Young Vic Theatre. It not only contains the scripts, but also a short copy of each story written by Carol Ann Duffy (great for teaching students how to devise or transform stories into drama). It’s a perfect resource when you have a large class and you want to give each group a slightly different short script to work on, whether it be
Hansel and Gretel, the Golden Goose or Rumplestiltskin. With the tales being based on those by the Brothers Grimm, they are nightmarish, dark and tense-students will love them. Use with any group, from Key Stage 3 up to Year 13 and adapt them to your own purpose-perhaps present them in a Brechtian style, or apply Artuad’s techniques. The possibilities are endless.

This volume contains Carol Ann Duffy's adaptation plus the dramatization by Tim Supple and the Young Vic Company. The plays were produced by the Young Vic, London, in 1994 and 1997.

'Great theatre is as fleeting as it is thrilling. It exists in the spaces between actors and audience and is as elusive and silvery as the paths that wind through dark woods of fairy tales. The great thing about Carol Ann Duffy's re-telling of these Grimm tales is the generous energy with which it enfolds each in its own style. Duffy and director Tim Supple go the whole journey with the brothers Grimm into the bright, warped world of a child's imagination.' Guardian
