Siblings Grace and Max must fight against evil after discovering they are descendants of the infamous Brothers Grimm.

Southsea-based Bradley Barlow, writer and director of the play, said: ‘I’m thrilled to be working with Groundlings on this brand new interpretation of Grimm’s Tales. With over 200 tales to choose from, I’ve had hundreds of characters and scenarios to play with and we’ve ended up with a fresh and modern spin on these timeless tales.’
