Presented by The Dukes and Williamson Park
Written by Andrew Pollard. Directed by Sarah Punshon
Join us on a magical journey through a world of witches, wolves, fairies, and frogs for our 2021 play in the park – Grimm Tales.
Lancaster’s enchanting Williamson Park becomes the spellbinding setting for a fun and fresh adaptation of the Brothers Grimm’s beloved fairy tales, making for a perfect adventure for all the family to enjoy.
The stage is set, the audience are ready, but the actors are nowhere in sight… However, the show must go on! With the park as their backdrop, it falls to some unlikely storytellers to save the day and lead you through all the twists and turns of these famous stories.
Full of catchy songs, fantastic sets, dazzling costumes and playful direction, this laugh out loud story will sprinkle some magic on your summer.

Grimm tales was not up to the usual high standard of the previous Dukes plays because of an excessively musical theme which was more suitable for a younger audience unlike the previous plays. However I think that the 5 actors performed well under the circumstances of a poor plot and the lack of props. For the first time in 5 years I’ll think twice about coming again.
Thanks for your feedback Alexa, We’re sorry you had some disappointment with the show, your comments have been passed onto the organisers. I do hope we will see you back again for future Plays in the Park.
