Review by Chanice Maxwell – Aged 7
"I liked the way it was set up and how they did lots of plays from the Brothers Grimm. I especially loved Little Red Riding Hood and how they used a white sheet and when the wolf ate the Granny they turned over the sheet and there was blood on the other side. Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandma got saved by the Huntsman who filled the wolf with rocks which killed the wolf and they all lived happily ever after. That was my favourite story.
I liked the colourful clothes and The Queen from Snow White was my best actor. I felt quite comfortable in the front row and liked how the room was small and stuff. In fact, I liked all of it. I recommend it to everyone. Have fun."

"Grimm – The Final Chapter was a play from the South West Youth Theatre performed at Tara Studio on Garratt Lane, 2 minutes walk from Earlsfield Station.
The space where the performance took place was a small area sectioned by black sheets which also lined the walls and floor. The show lasted 50 minutes and comprised a medley of adapted fairy tales with dark as well as comical modifications.
The witty storylines and very good acting in parts made up for the lack of props and costumes. Improvisation was definitely necessary and at times the actors poked fun at their lack of appropriate props and outfits.
All the performers were enthusiastic and together they put on an enjoyable show. They all brought something special to the production. However, the actor who played ‘The Huntsman’ in Little Red Riding Hood and also performed well in The Three Sillies as well as the actress who played ‘The Queen’ in Snow White both had charisma, presence and good delivery. They came across as confident and brought their scenes to life with bold and good acting.
The production appeared to be enjoyed by the audience most of whom seemed familiar with, or attached to, the Theatre Company and Tara Studios. There was an incestuous feel to this set up and I felt a bit of an intruder.
For those with no involvement with the South West Youth Theatre and TARA Studios I would recommend this play for younger children aged 4-10 yrs."

Thanks to both the young reviewers.
