Concrete Playground

Why have fairy tales become so 'happy' in the last hundred years? The Grimm boys loved to throw in buckets of blood, sex, trauma and sadism amongst their princesses and dwarves, but as soon as Disney appeared on the scene it was all cut out and replaced with high saccharine tunes.

Devil May Care brings a modern tale to the stage that rekindles the darkness of times past. Ruby Moon, a little girl of the suburbs, sets off to visit her grandmother and never arrives. What's more terrifying? That the Big Bad Wolf caught her? Or that she'll become another tabloid face, a forever child locked in an unsolved abduction case until the day someone digs under a neighbour's floorboards?
