Mrs Hood sends little Red Hood to her Grandmother’s with some bread and milk, warning her never to leave the path. After Red has left, Mrs Hood is concerned about her daughter’s journey through the wood. The rather supercilious Woodland Fairy re-assures her that she’ll keep an eye on little Red throughout her journey. However, the Fairy enlists the help of children in the audience, as she has a hairdressing appointment. Wolf introduces himself, and despite an offer of help from his cousin Big Bad Wolf, meets little Red in the forest on his own. She disdainfully sends him away, and Wolf sets off to find Granny’s house, again disregarding a warning from his cousin.
Wolf again meets Red and suggests she pick flowers for her Granny, making sure she leaves the path to do so, but when the Fairy encounters Wolf, she doesn’t recognise the danger Red might be in. When Wolf arrives at Granny’s house, she persuades him that she’s not worth eating.
The Fairy meets Sheep and Wee Sheep, who want to watch what’s happening, but she sends them away. Red arrives at her grandmother’s house, to find Wolf disguised as Granny. She’s almost taken in, but manages to escape. A chase sequence follows, with Red enlisting the help of the Sheep and the audience to confuse Wolf. Robin Hood – a relative of the Hood family, of course - arrives on the scene and all is resolved. After a final consultation with Big Bad Wolf, in which Big Bad refuses assistance, Wolf becomes the family’s household pet. |
