The Plandits – Big Bad Wolf

Outdoor Theatre at The Bishop’s Palace in Wells, Somerset

24 July 2026 | 5.30pm

 

The Plandits join us at The Bishop’s Palace this summer for a madcap, rock ‘n’ roll musical journey of plotting and scheming with folklore’s most notorious villain –The Big Bad Wolf.

Exiled to the Deep Dark Wood, he parties hard and rocks out every night with his cronies, far away from the goody-goody townspeople of Fairytaleville. But whatever happened to Little Red Riding Hood? Did the Three Little Pigs go on to have a successful career in techno music? Does his Fairy Godmother have what it takes to change the ways of a hardened carnivore?
