Modern take on Grimm’s fairy tales

A NEW theatre production inspired by a famous collection of fairy tales will launch in Portsmouth.

The Legend of Grimm’s Tales play will be held at the Groundlings Theatre, in Kent Street, this summer.

Professional actors and local performers aim to captivate audiences through an adaptation of Brother and Sister.

Siblings Grace and Max must fight against evil after discovering they are descendants of the infamous Brothers Grimm.

Southsea-based Bradley Barlow, writer and director of the play, said: ‘I’m thrilled to be working with Groundlings on this brand new interpretation of Grimm’s Tales. We’ve ended up with a fresh and modern spin on these timeless tales.’

Among the cast is Lucy Edge, a professional actress based in North End.

Performances take place between June 9 and June 19.

Tickets are on sale and can be purchased at www. groundlings.co.uk, or by phone on 02392 737370.
