The Three Snake Leaves
The Red Brick Auditorium, Square Chapel, Halifax
March 2023
Battle rages in a far-away kingdom of magic and wonder. One man, Arden, stands above all and leads his comrades to victory – but this is only the beginning. Blossoming romances, acts of treachery and wicked sorcery lead to events that put the entire realm at stake.
A dark retelling of two classic tales by the Brothers Grimm – The Three Snake Leaves and Snow White and Rose Red. This original script was first developed in 2014 by local Halifax theatre group Grim North Theatre and has been adapted by the author for the students of Calderdale Theatre School.
