Red Riding Hood Meets a Green Wolf

Graham Porter and Jane Smythe in Red Riding Hood and the Green Wolf
Red Riding Hood met the wolf of her dreams at the Clay and Paper Theatre's summer celebration of love in all its forms -- Day of Delight, held June 19th in Dufferin Grove Park. Amid wonderful bicycle puppeteers, stilt walkers, dancers and a old-fashioned telegraph office, Red (Jane Smythe) tamed a vegetarian Wolf (Graham Porter) with broccoli, carrots, and honey from her basket. Flocks of child followers offered the Wolf handsful of grass, threw hummus at the basket, and tried on Red's cloak.

The Blackcurrant production was designed and photographed by Margaret Nieradka, using a secret candy wrapper technique, and directed by Kathy Bischoping.

Graham and Jane, Happy Together
