Synopsis:

In the style of the BBC's hugely successful SHAKESPEARE RETOLD series sees four classic fairy tales get given the modernising-treatment to become present-day morality tales (with tongue firmly in cheek of course!). RAPUNZEL, CINDERELLA, THE EMPRESS'S NEW CLOTHES and BILLY GOAT all feature a wealth of British acting, writing and directing talent.
