The Grimm Shows

The Grimm Shows

The hit, award winning Grimm shows! Grimm!, Grimm, Too!, & Très Grimm!

The shows take a close look at the true Grimm stories, not the sanitized ones we know today, and trace the rich history of folk tales. Developed, co-written, and produced by George Larkin. 

Combined, the shows were nominated for nine prestigious L.A. Weekly Awards (for best writer, director, and actor) and received three Backstage West honorable mention Garlands. The first show was a Backstage West Critic’s Pick, all three were recommended by the L.A. Weekly, and the Los Angeles Times recommended the third and raved that "George Larkin's third slate of adult takes on tales by folklore's cautionary brothers is a vivacious volume earmarked by wry designs and spry playing...", "Grown up Grimm pulls no punches," and that its "vicious and hysterical," hilarious," "riveting," and that its "energy abounds."

JAC published all thirty plays from the three Grimm shows. To find out more or order, please go to:

A critically acclaimed play written by George Larkin

What’s in the Bible?
Christ being born on December 25th? An apple in the garden of Eden?
David killing Goliath with a stone?
People building pyramids? Or crossing the Red Sea?
Joseph having a coat of many colors?
A woman who is raped and not betrothed has to marry the man who did it?

Only the last one is...
