Red Riding Hood's all the rage at the moment.

With the new film of Red Riding Hood about to hit our big screens it seems that the story has come back into vogue - but then my different versions of the story have been on stage some where in the world over the past two months. Beginning with The Granny Case over in Sydney New South Wales, Australia in February:
which I've blogged about before and then last month - March - my old pantomime revived from the production in Luton in 1992 - RED RIDING HOOD - The Panto With Teeth seen in Hitchin in what looks like a wonderful fun production.


And that's not all - The Granny Case has now been added to a collection of short plays with the overall title No Rhyme Nor Reason or The Nursery Rhyme Crimes - as performed by the Solva Amateur Dramatic Society, Pembrokeshire South Wales at the end of March. 
For a writer it wonderful to have his/her plays performed even in the local area - but to have them done in different places spanning the globe that's a real thrill. 
 The Granny Case has now been produced three different times and looking very very different each time - Considering the original performance back in 2009 as part of the Pint Sized Plays competition -
Well, all I can do is thank the casts and directors involved and be amazed at their creative inputs into these plays.
