Rebecca Riding Hood cover

As ever, Rebecca has to take a basket of goodies to Granny, but this time she is hindered by her annoying little sister, Violet.

Unbeknownst to them, Lupine Wopperty, teacher of young wolves, is trying to instil some sense of wolfishenss into Sidney Sniff, a determined vegetarian.


Rebecca's friends, the Three Little Pigs aren't so little and are ready for any huffing and puffing that comes their way.

And the Three Bears keep having break-ins.

Can the witch from Hansel and Gretel be trusted?

And is Violet's frog all that it seems?

Everything's as you would expect in a fairytale forest.

And of course being a fairytale, this story has a happy (and hilarious) ending.

With music this show runs at about 60 minutes and is suitable for children aged from 8 to 12.

    An extract from scene 3 - A Visit From The Three Bears

    Mrs Riding-Hood: Sit down, the pair of you.
    Daddy Bear: We’ve brought you a message from your Grandmother. She says don’t bother coming round tomorrow because she’s going bungee jumping with her friends from the Eighty-Not-Out Club.
    Rebecca: But she’s eighty-six!
    Mrs Riding-Hood: Don’t be such a stick-in-the-mud. If my mother wants to have some fun then let her.
    Violet: What’s bungee jumping?
    Rebecca: It’s where people jump off high bridges tied to a bit of knicker elastic.
    Violet: Granny’s got lots of knicker elastic. I’ve seen the size of her knickers!
    Mrs Riding-Hood: Violet!
    Violet: Well I have!
    Mummy Bear: We’ve got to be off now. We only popped in to pass on the message. She said if you take her groceries round at the weekend that will be fine.
    Rebecca: OK.
    Three bears: Bye!  
    Rebecca & Violet & Mrs Riding-Hood: Bye!
    Mrs Riding-Hood: So how are the little pigs?
    Rebecca: Oh, they’re fine. They’ve just bought some land in the forest where they’re going to build their new homes.
    Mrs Riding-Hood: That’ll be nice.
    Rebecca: Yeah. Arnie is making his house out of straw, Sylvester is making his out of sticks and Jean-Claude is using bricks.
    Mrs Riding-Hood: Have they gone mad? You can’t make houses out of sticks and straw!
    Violet: It’s mental and friendly!
    Rebecca: That’s environmentally friendly. Really Violet, you’re so thick.
    Violet: Huh!
    Mrs Riding-Hood: Even so, it doesn’t sound very safe.
    Rebecca: Oh, they can look after themselves. They’ve been working out. (Does pumping iron actions.)
    Mrs Riding-Hood: I hope you’re right.
