“Hood in the Wood” is written by Britain’s premier playwright for children Noel Greig as a one man show with live music. 

This traditional story of Little Red Riding Hood is written in rich poetic language which explores growing up and separation from parents.  “Hood in the Wood” has been made into a powerful performance piece enabling young audiences to experience the theatre as well as involve themselves in a participatory workshop afterwards.

The piece is performed by Gary Lagden, Tangere Arts’ lead actor, director David Johnston, and composer musician, Lewis Gibson.

“Hood in the Wood” also provides a springboard for teachers to explore more in-depth literacy work around rhyme, storytelling, looking at the significance of fairy tales, and their own stories.  As with all of Tangere Arts’ work the piece also reflects many aspects of “Every Child Matters” policy.
