Rotkäppchen und Herr Wolff
Fairy tale adaption by Sergej Gößner
Panic in the magic forest. Mr Wolff has arrived. He’s probably up to no good. Little Red Riding Hood has her doubts. What if Mr Wolff is not evil, but lonely, looking for friends?
Suddenly, Mister Wolff moved from the Forst of Dark to the Magic Forest. Whose inhabitants are now afraid of him. And the seven little goats have disappeared. Are they really just on vacation?
Miss Boar, Mister Niggling, and the hunter don't want Mister Wolff in their forest. Only Little Red Riding Hood is wondering whether one should talk to him before judging. On her to her grandma she meets Mister Wolff as a graceful man with top hat and scarf. And he is nowhere near as terrifying as everyone claims he is.
Sergej Gößner takes the classic fair tale and turns it upside down, and prejudices towards "the unknown" with it. he shows that "we always did it like that" might not always be the best approach.

Rotkäppchen und Herr Wolff in simple language
Suddenly, a stranger is the forest. His name is Herr Wolff. Everbody is afraid of him. But not Little Red Riding Hood.
The others say: Herr Wolff is evil! He has to go away! Little Red Riding Hood thinks: Maybe he just wants friends? She meets him the forest. She realises: Herr Wolff is a nice person.
Sergej Gößner wrote this play. He wants to show: Some people are strangers. But that does not mean they are evil. We have to get to know them first. Then we know: Are they evil, or nice?
