"Little Red Riding Hood" is a fairy tale by Charles Perrault about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to several pre-17th-century European folk tales.

Bühne Fry für die großartigste Geschichte der Welt! Es ist die größte Geschichte von Heldentum und Hass, Liebe und Leiden, Rache und Reue, Verlangen und Verzweiflung, die sich die Menschheit je erzählt hat: Der Kampf um das legendäre Troja, das für Götter und Menschen gleichermaßen Segen und Fluch war und zum Schauplatz alter Fehden, sagenhafter Herausforderungen und verwickelter Intrigen wurde. Es sind jene menschlichen Leidenschaften, blutig in den Sand einer fernen Küste geschrieben, die heute noch zu uns sprechen.

Nie sind monströsere Gefahren überwunden und rachsüchtigere Götter überlistet worden als in der griechischen Antike. Stephen Fry haucht den Sagen um Perseus, Herakles & Ödipus neues Leben ein. Ob Jason mithilfe von Medeas Zauber das Goldene Vlies stiehlt oder Theseus durch Ariadnes List den Minotaurus überwindet - mit seinem unnachahmlichen Humor holt Fry die klassischen Stoffe in unsere Zeit. Er zeigt, dass hinter jedem Helden eine Heldin steht und dass es der Auflehnung der Helden gegen Zeus & Co. bedurfte, um der Welt von uns Menschen den Weg zu bereiten.
