48 April 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com happenings Music and theatre lovers are in for a lovely treat as Entertainment+ presents the fantastic tale of Red Riding Hood by Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary. This brand new musical adaptation of the classic fairytale is being brought from London’s Pleasance Theatre to the Cultural Hall from April 23-26. Little Red is clever, Little Red is bright, Little Red will find a way to beat you in a fight! The tale is about a brave little girl, Red, and her encounter with a big bad wolf in the forest. Follow Red as she ventures through the woods on a quest to save her family bakery. But will she be distracted by the wolf in the magical forest, where nothing is as it seems? One for the entire family to enjoy, the production is filled with humour and packed with original music. It brings a new twist to the classic tale of bravery, love, friendship and family. Produced by Paul Taylor-Mills, Red Riding Hood’s music, book and lyrics are provided by writing duo Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary. Their stage musical adaptation of Sue Townsend’s The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole recently premiered at Leicester’s Curve Theatre, and their original new musical Prodigy, commissioned by the UK’s National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT), premiered at St James Theatre in August 2015. Their other works include Treasure Island (Singapore Repertory Theatre), Jet Set Go! (Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Theatre503) and The Great British Soap Opera (Jermyn Theatre). Producer Paul Taylor-Mills returns to the Cultural Hall after last year’s hit production of The Cat In The Hat. “After following the careers of Jake and Pippa since Jet Set Go!, I have seen them cement themselves as one of the most exiting voices in new musical theatre in the UK,” says Paul. “The way in which they complement each other is truly original, exciting and I am delighted to be presenting their big show for small people following the success of last year’s run of The Cat In The Hat. Audiences young and old are promised a contemporary take on the famous story presented by a truly visionary team.” “I can’t wait for this production of Paul TaylorMills to hit the stage of Bahrain as the audience last year were absolutely thrilled and enthralled with the The Cat In The Hat,” says Paula Mansour from Entertainment+. The show timings are 11am and 4pm on April 23, and 8.45am and 10.45am from April 24-26. Tickets are selling fast and are available at Alosra supermarkets and havajava café inside Manazel.
