The Barden Party then brought the production to The Edinburgh Fringe in August 2025\, where it received five-star reviews from Theatre Weekly\, Musical Theatre and The Recs\, along with standing ovations from audiences. \nYou’ll never see the notorious Scottish Play in the same way again!

SUMMARY:The Amazing Thing
DESCRIPTION:What’s in the box? A strange and weird thing? Something terrible\, or a thing of beauty? \nStoryteller\, Peter Grimm opens the box to find the ‘Thing’ that takes him on an unusual journey that weaves its way through a medley of well known Brother’s Grimm tales\, to finally unlock his imagination and free his stories. \nA truly original story told with puppets\, acting and live music. \nFun\, inspiration and delight for all the family. \n  \nPeter Grimm is a descendant of the famous Brothers Grimm. He has inherited the tradition of his ancestors and tells their stories as they were written down 200 years ago. \nBut\, with his inheritance also comes a ghost. The brothers locked something away in a box when they wrote down and fixed the stories. They threw the box into the sea\, and now that something\, that rogue and wild element of story\, has returned with the tide. Peter opens the box and sets free the “amazing thing” to add its influence in the sea of stories. \nThe show is about the unlocking of imagination in relation to stories\, hung on some well-known Grimm classics. It can be useful to start somewhere familiar and then take a detour into the unknown. A rogue or surprise element can wake up the imagination and give a new slant to a predictable tale.
