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 |
Beautiful pair! Great Red Riding Hood and beautiful Wolf! Actually a cruel story, isn't it? But I like fairytales. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteDear Kathy: This is really sweet! I love the story when it turns out the other way around! Any more productions on the go? Chiccoreal
