Red Racing Hood roars into the theatre
Catch it before it races away!
“The appeal of Red Racing Hood covers many generations ... revelling in the many levels of humour, delivered by energetic actors with terrific timing. A clever, lovely, funny show!”
Stage Whispers (Australia)
With everything she knows and loves at stake in the small town of Grinalong, Red must convince her Gran to help her win a car race and overcome her own fears with the aim of staying in the town.
The story is reimagined from the famous fairytale Little Red Riding Hood. It is inventively brought to life using slot car racing, with cameras situated around the circuit magnifying the action live on screen, putting the audience in the driving seat as they follow Red on her adventure.
In English with simple Cantonese interpretation
