The 200th anniversary of the Brothers Grimm’s magnificent collection of fairy stories is in 2012. To celebrate the anniversary, The Company of Storytellers<\/em> – Hugh Lupton, Ben Haggarty and Sally Pomme Clayton  – are  recreating their unique piece of  performance storytelling for adults – The Three Snake Leaves<\/em>.<\/a> This remixed version will have live music specially composed and performed by exquisite musicians  Dylan Fowler and Gillian Stevens.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This subtle, beguiling, and seamless performance journeys deep into the half-remembered realm of fairytale. The Three Snake Leaves<\/em> weaves together unknown stories from the Brothers Grimm, retelling them in the light of contemporary values. A primitive world is conjured, taking the listener along twisted tracks, through a tangle of humorous, moving, and cruel stories, in order to find wisdom. The forest is a place where marvels gleam from the shadows, and the mysterious snake leaves bring transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n
