Another Once Upon A Time by Carol Ann Duffy

In a stunning collaboration of East and West, this production is a bold experimentation in storytelling that is the first of its kind to be shown in York’s Drama Barn. Watch two familiar fairy tales, Hansel & Gretel and Snow White, performed in the style of Japanese Bunraku puppetry with a twist: the puppets literally come to life!

Based on an adaptation by Carol Ann Duffy and dramatised by Tim Supple, the reworking of these fairytales create an original commentary on the nature and essence of stories.
