Red Riding Hood Noir

A streetwalker. A wolf. A diner at 2 a.m. Sometimes the darkest fairy tales offer the greatest hope.

Red Riding Hood Noir

Recommended by

  • Brent Alles: Red Riding Hood Noir

    Just when I thought you couldn't come up with a fresh angle on "Red", Helms surprises me with an intriguing noir take on the old fairy tale that is extremely engaging in its own right. Great technique in using the "old" mythology to set up a new mythos that was totally engrossing. On its own, this would be excellent to see staged as part of a short festival. But if it's perhaps expanded at some point into a larger work, I can't wait to see how the narrative is developed. Excellent!
