If you join Heartbreak in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise!

It’s Grimm Night and the forest spirits are wandering abroad. Never heard of the Grimm? It used to live in the Black Forest, but now travels through forests across the UK looking for children’s voices to steal. To prevent this spectre from taking our voices, we must tell it stories, so we gather together to re-tell the stories from whence it took its name - the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.  We can’t just keep telling the same stories in the same way for hundreds of years, though. That would be very boring, and not very much like Heartbreak at all.

But these aren’t the stories as you know them. We’ve shaken them up and twisted them around for today's audience. Rumplestiltskin is a tech wizard who, instead of spinning straw into gold, manipulates algorithms for followers on “chit chat”. Rapunzel cuts off her own hair and ties it to the bed to climb out of her tower — no prince necessary. The final fairy tale is an original penned by Heartbreak’s “Find Your Voice” contest winner, Kasper, a year 4 student from Leamington Spa. His story “Sin Der Fella” is an original take on Cinderella. Pack the picnic basket, dress for the weather and don’t forget to bring something to sit on as Heartbreak Productions invites you to Wonder With Grimm.
