Download Red, Granny and Wolfowitz from Misfits Audio
Misfits Audio, 2012
Another in the series of ingenious rewritings of familiar children's
tales, performed by the ever-innovative Misfits Audıo troupe.
This tale reimagines Little Red Riding Hood as a 40s detective tale, complete
with atmospheric music, a dumb detective Mack Adams (Tom Chalker) with an even dumber sidekick (Glenn Hascall), a scheming
heroine - definitely not the innocent little girl of the folktaler (Katie Dehnart), who also plays the role of the Granny;
and the Wolf reimagined as gangster Johnny Wolfowitz (Glenn Hascall once again).
I won't go into the specifics of the tale; suffice to say that the plot twists and
turns, absurdity piling upon absurdity. There's everything in this fifteen-minute spoof: disguise, deception, delusion
and (invariably flse) deduction. The action proceeds at a great lick, and is highly entertaining. I do hope the
series continues; I'm looking forward to hearing more.
