    Adapted from two short stories by Angela Carter.
  • Achoimre

    This gothic fairytale is fashioned from the fable, The Company of Wolves, and the complementary fairytale, Vampirella, both written by Angela Carter. In Katy Hayes's adaptation Red Riding Hood and Hero set out on their separate paths through the woods, virgins both, each possessing the fierce bravery reserved only for the very innocent and the very foolish. With them, the audience takes a journey through the European folklore of vampires, cannibals, and necrophilia, meeting a werewolf or two along the way. Hero, a staunch English boy, trots innocently towards the fangs of Vampirella, the most beautiful of all vampires, while Little Red Riding Hood looks set to become dessert in the jaws of the werewolf. But things are never as they seem. The path through the woods presents surprises at every gothic twist and turn in a narrative peopled with all sorts of shady creatures who seldom venture forth from the underworld.
