WHAT A BIG SMILE YOU’LL HAVE …!

Hooray!! It’s the Christmas season again! And this year Roger Hall’s wonderfully high-spirited pantomime Red Riding Hood is back to delight audiences of all ages, and bring a smile to your face.

Red Riding Hood is one of the greatest all-time favourites in this marvellous festive tradition. The story of innocent Red Riding Hood, and her poor short-sighted grandmother, and of course the handsome woodcutter and that villain of all villains, the Wolf, is one that everyone knows and loves.

And in the great tradition of Circa pantos, it has been given the legendary “Hall” special treatment, with lots of local references and topical jokes!

A wolf has escaped from Wellington Zoo and is on the loose in the Karori Sanctuary - thanks to the bungling efforts of a couple of failed List MPs on work experience. He’s dangerous, and must be caught – and before the next full moon!
Meanwhile, Sir Roger Bounder, the evil property developer has other designs on this prime piece of real estate, and Grandma’s small adjoining cottage …

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!

So get into the spirit of the season and join Red Riding Hood at Circa for a unique blend of panto fun - laughter, comedy, costume and songs with delighted audiences hissing and booing with gusto.

It is a marvellous, magical treat that is now truly, an unmissable part of Wellington’s Christmas experience.

With a wonderful cast of highly talented actors, Red Riding Hood stars audience favourites and exciting new faces in:

GAVIN RUTHERFORD, AWHIMAI FRASER, SIMON LEARY, JANE WADDELL, JONATHAN MORGAN, CARRIE GREEN, PATRICK DAVIES, and TOM TRUSS.

“A great way to introduce kids to the magic of theatre, and Red Riding Hood is easily the ideal Christmas outing for the holidays … a treat.” - Salient

“Roger Hall’s helter-skelter Red Riding Hood … is wonderfully exuberant seasonal fun” – Dominion Post
