Synopsis
Red is a bold, imaginative adaptation of the original fairytale - with a twist.
Step into Vargheim, a snowy mountain with a dark secret. Performed by a rotating cast of adults and young people, Red is a coming of age tale about found family, and discovering your place in the world.
Each performance was BSL interpreted by the cast themselves, the more experienced staff supporting the young company as they signed, danced and sung their way through Vargheim.
