ARMCHAIR THEATRE - RED RIDING HOOD - 1973

Red Riding Hood is an ‘Armchair Theatre’ production from 1973 starring
Rita Tushingham and Keith Barron. It’s a strange and compelling drama
about Grace, an unhappy young woman whose life is made a misery by
loneliness and debt and trying to juggle the demands of two elderly
bedridden relatives (her whining father and her nasty grandmother) and
an unfulfilling job in a library. With all this going on, she has become
drab and lifeless, a person without pleasures or desires of her own. Oh,
and she wears a natty red cape and caries a wicker basket.
