Picture Mother Goose all dressed up in your mind's eye. We're betting that images of floral, matronly frocks and floppy hats are abounding. When it comes to this off-beat retelling, you couldn't have been more wrong. 'All dressed up' for this Mother Goose means pearls, a feather boa, lipstick and a flapper dress. Picture the Cat and the Fiddle. A sleek animal with a stylish instrument - right? Wrong. This Cat and the Fiddle is naughty and louche, and his fiddle is out of tune. A whole host of other traditional children's characters are here similarly reimagined.
