Synopsis
In the style of the BBC's hugely successful SHAKESPEARE RETOLD series sees four classic fairy tales get given the modernising-treatment to become present-day morality tales (with tongue firmly in cheek of course!). RAPUNZEL, CINDERELLA, THE EMPRESS'S NEW CLOTHES and BILLY GOAT all feature a wealth of British acting, writing and directing talent.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant Entertainment
I loved all four of these brilliantly written and acted adaptations. I couldn't believe the cast in this series, how did they get all these actors together? Light and funny to watch with great references to the traditional tales - can't wait for the dvd.....

Wonderful
Four wonderful adaptations of Fairy Tales which I loved. A great cast and some fantastic performances, Maxine Peake and James Nesbitt in Cinderella were stunning, I could watch this time and time again.

Fairy Tales
Four very different versions of traditional Fairy Stories. A very entertaining quartet which I am so glad I bought.
