Granny hasn’t been visited by her red-hooded grandson in a while, and with Dementia being the only one keeping her company, she can’t remember how long it’s been. Wolfie, nicknamed after his favorite childhood bedtime story and now much older, is in for a surprise when neither of them resembles how they remember (or don’t remember) each other. In this contemporary twist on Little Red Riding Hood, what Wolfie thought would be a simple trip to Granny’s house, turns into a battle against Dementia to keep Granny’s attention long enough to reveal the reason behind his spontaneous visit.

    Everything about this - from its formatting, to reframing of a classic fairytale to a contemporary setting, and its heartbreaking dialogue, is masterful. There are plays that are adaptations of classics and plays that address dementia, but Macedo has managed to create her own new genre with this piece.

    Such a fresh take on a classic story that honestly portrays the pressing issue of eldercare. Excited to see actors take on these roles.
