Deliciously gruesome fairy tales of old!

December 9th, 10th, 11th

Saturday 10th incorporates the Plover Awards!

All shows at 8pm, except Sunday, December 11 @ 7pm

 MAGIC, menace and mayhem are being let loose at Playlovers this December – but it’s all in the name of art.

A selection of the best timeless fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, told with a quirky twist.

“The production is full of all the magic and wonder you find in your imagination with a little pinch of mischief thrown in,” Crewes said.  “There’s a lot of deliciously gruesome fun as livers and lungs are salted, simmered and served for dinner; eyeballs are pecked out by disgruntled birds, and toes and heels are cut off so feet can fit into shoes.   Yet the fairytale heroes still manage to confront their enemies and triumph over fear and injustice.”

Grimm Tales is a production for all ages.   A great lead up to the merry season of Christmas. 

The Plover Awards will be presented on Saturday 10th, when, following Grimm Tales, there will be musical entertainment designed and directed by Tyler Jones.  We arrange table-seating on the Plover Awards Night – not the usual tiered seating. So this must be booked via email or phone, not online.
