Hoody is a tongue in cheek reworking of Little Red Riding Hood. The schtick is that the characters have all fallen out of a copy of Perreault’s Once Upon A Time and ended up in Toronto. In the process they have changed form so that LRRH is now a very large man (Graham Knox) and the Wolf is now a woman called Lu (Lu, loup geddit?) with an unfortunate addiction to human flesh. It’s written by Dawna Wightman (who also plays Lu) and presented by Hoody Ink in the Solo Room at Tarragon as part of the Fringe.
