Fairytales for Grown-ups: The Girl who Didn’t Die

Fairytales for Grown-ups: The Girl who Didn't Die is a show at Folklore Hoxton in London, reworking a fairytale for an adult audience.

The production takes a classic fairytale structure and reframes it for grown-up viewers, with the title itself signalling a tale that turns on survival rather than the usual ending. It is presented as a live stage show, with the performance taking place on a stage in front of a seated or standing audience, depending on the staging chosen for the evening.

Folklore Hoxton hosts concerts and shows in London, so the venue presents a varied programme of live performance. Its listings cover music and stage work, and this production sits within that mix of evening entertainment.

The piece is aimed at adults who enjoy reinterpreted folk stories and darker, more reflective material than traditional children's fairytales. It suits an evening out for those interested in new approaches to familiar narratives. Check the production's own notes for content guidance before attending.
