A few words about the play 
Unrest and anxiety are now the rule from one end of the Kingdom of Fairytale Heroes to the other. Brazen lies and baseless rumours are being spread at the expense of the beloved heroes of our classic fairy tales, and their image is getting blacker by the day!
 
-What is the Big Bad Wolf doing at the “Old People Doner Kebab” joint"? 
-Why are the three little pigs dancing like Zorba the Greek? 
-Was there a feat which Hercules flunked? 
-Does Cinderella really stand accused of unfair competition and deceit? 
-Does the Beast want to be ...Beauty and what does Beauty have to say about it? 
-Is Sleeping Beauty sleepwalking? 

Rumours, lies, fake news and slander are everywhere and spreading fast! The Grandmothers’ Society, the true guardians of the world’s fairy tales, hires the infallible, fair and masterly Detective Thumbnail to root out the evil and solve the mystery. So who’s spreading these outright lies at our fairytale heroes’ expense? Will the ace detective manage to stem the never-ending flow of fake news? A story packed with mystery, suspense, twists and turns, gangs, beats and, of course, hilarious fairytale entanglements!
