Paul Jenden's Fairy Stories

Paul Jenden's
Fairy Stories
Tease, tinsel and ten twisted tales

Featuring Sir Jon Trimmer
With Paul Jenden, Louis Solino, Kate O’Rourke, Jenny Beech

Take a bunch of your best loved fairy tales, mix them thoroughly, throw in some chiffon, glitter and an extra large dollop of humour and you have FAIRY STORIES, Paul Jenden’s wacky collection of adult bedtime stories.
With fizzling fairies, and fantastic costumes, the shows are a perfect blend of fun and fantasy, combining wry interpretations of traditional fairy tales with music, movement, theatre and humour.

FAIRY STORIES opens CIRCA Two on SATURDAY 12 MARCH 7.30pm

FAIRY STORIES has always been an audience favourite - and now they have just got even better. The four frivolous fairies have finally met their match as one of New Zealand’s best-loved performers, Sir Jon Trimmer, joins the fairy team creating some brilliant new characters including a gangster wolf, a jungle fairy-godmother and a wonderfully eccentric Master of Ceremonies.

FAIRY STORIES achieved fame and rave reviews when it first appeared at Circa Theatre in 1996. For several years director, choreographer and designer Paul Jenden continued to concoct new Fairy Stories for an ever increasing and loyal Wellington audience. FAIRY STORIES was exported to Auckland in 2000 and to Christchurch in 2001 but is returning to bring fun, fizz and frivolity to Circa Theatre’s 35th birthday party.

Paul Jenden says:-
“There is a special joy coming back to the world of FAIRY STORIES with all its magic, mystery and mayhem. Whether it is revisiting older stories or creating new ones, the enjoyment of returning to FAIRY STORIES makes it hardly seem like work at all.
I am loving working with Louis Solino and Kate O'Rourke again and Jon Trimmer has taken to our madness like a duck to water. Add Jenny Beech's fresh new fairy face and the show has been given a whole new lease on life.
Laughter, sparkle and joy never get old!”
