REVIEW: Tarragon’s Bremen Town gives the golden years a Grimm twist
Prest’s adaptation doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of Grimm’s fairy tales nor of life, and instead explores life's absurd humour with a sprinkling of schadenfreude. The show inspires guilt-tinged laughter as the characters cheerfully discuss the merits of turning their late mothers into candles.
