GRIMM – Tales from the Brothers Grimm

Shake & Stir Theatre Co and QPAC presents
GRIMM
Tales from the Brothers Grimm
Adapted and created by Shake & Stir

Happily, ever after? Never.

GRIMM, the smash-hit, deliciously-twisted, sold out production returns.

Nationally-revered Shake & Stir Theatre Co invite you into a world where fairytales are reimagined with a profound intensity and irreverent glee. But be warned – these bedtime stories may cause nightmares…

Within the walls of an abandoned drinking house in the deep dark forest, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many others emerge from the thicket to share the truth behind their stories – warts and all. Consequently,  surprises and never-before-told truths boil and bubble seductively to the surface...

From the company behind the award-winning stage spectacles – The Great Gatsby, Frankenstein and A Christmas Carol – comes this bold adaption of tales from the Brothers Grimm in a bewitching theatre experience.

Adapted by Nelle Lee, directed by Daniel Evans and costumes designed by Australian fashion icon Paul McCann – expect a lavish, loud and lucid night.

Tuck yourself in – bedtime stories will never be the same again. 


Impressively clever, brilliantly performed, frequently hilarious and thoroughly entertaining.

Shake & Stir have managed to spin straw into gold.

- Brisbane Times

One of Brisbane Festival 2024’s standouts and hottest tickets.

- InReview

A play of extremes that impels you to laugh, tremble and leave your etiquette at the door.

- 4ZZZ

‘Savage and sophisticated’ yes, but also intelligent and probing.
