The BIG Experience: Goldilocks on Trial
A courtroom comedy that turns a classic tale on its head!
Step inside Fairy Tale Town’s most talked about courtroom as Judge Knowitall presides over a truly peculiar case, Goldilocks vs.The Three Bears! Has our blonde-haired influencer been unfairly accused, or is she guilty of trespassing, theft, and breaking Baby Bear’s chair? It’s up to your students, the jury and the gallery to decide!
The Story
When Goldilocks (or should we say Miss Goldi Lozziski) finds herself in hot water, she’s determined to tell her side of the story. From failed jobs at Billy Goat’s Grub to a sleepy stint in the local library, this modern day Goldilocks has had a tough time finding her place in the world. That is, until she stumbles upon a little cottage in the woods listed on “Bear B&B”… and chaos ensues!
Guided by the ever-wise Judge Knowitall and watched closely by PC Good-doer, the courtroom comes alive with evidence, witness testimonies, and even CCTV footage! Students take on the roles of jurors, court officials, and detectives as they uncover the truth behind the porridge.
The Experience
This immersive, interactive performance invites pupils to step into the world of live theatre and the justice system in one hilarious, high-energy experience. Through laughter and participation, children explore:
- Right and wrong: What happens when you make assumptions or act before thinking?
- Empathy and perspective: There’s always more than one side to every story.
- Confidence and communication: Taking part in discussions, debates, and even delivering a verdict!
Complete with costumes, props, music, and multimedia, the show transforms the school hall into a buzzing courtroom, encouraging teamwork, listening skills, and critical thinking.
The Verdict
By the end of the trial, pupils must decide Is Goldilocks guilty or not guilty? With lively debates, laughter, and plenty of drama, every school becomes part of the story. Whatever the outcome, one thing’s for sure: no one will ever see Goldilocks quite the same way again!
