This version of the beloved classic fairy tale is a participation play by the American master of the form. It is a delightful romp out of two well-known tales, united by a common enemy -- the wolf.
After a brief prologue introducing players and themes, the troupe acts out two wonderful cautionary tales -- among the very first favorites of every child. Cheer for the industrious and clever third pig as she defends herself in a sturdy brick house, built with the aid of the audience. Then laugh with delight and squirm with suspense as Red Riding Hood almost allows her bravado and all-too-trusting nature to deliver her to a very hungry (and equally funny) wolf.
Four simple songs by a master composer move the action along with great charm.
