PREPARE YOURSELF FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT AT THE THEATRE!

From the extraordinary Shake & Stir Theatre Company comes GRIMM — a fun and visually stunning, emotionally charged theatrical experience for adults.

"GRIMM is an exciting mash up of the Brothers Grimm tales. It sort of feels like what would happen if Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods met in a bar with the cast of Shrek and they all started doing body shots with the cast of Coyote Ugly." - Daniel Evans, Director

GRIMM reimagines classic fairytales with signature Shake & Stir stage magic and electrifying musical performance.

One night only!
