About The Grandmothers Grimm
Cannibalism, werewolf trials, deceit and murder: Marie Hassenpflug and the Brothers Grimm are editing the darkness out of old stories. Little by little, the voices of the storytellers who created the tales are eroded away. What will be saved and what will be forgotten?
This critically acclaimed feminist drama explores women’s role in the creation of the Brothers Grimm’s famous fairy-tale anthology. Discover forgotten history and a night of folk and fairy tales unlike any you've ever heard before.
The Grandmothers Grimm is an award winning show (Most Imaginative Script, USA National Women's Theatre Festival 2023) from Some Kind of Theatre, Edinburgh's literary theatre company.
