Summary/Abstract: After surveying the creative methods of the French playwright-director, the review presents three drama adaptations of tales by Pommerat. Little Red Riding-Hood (2005), Pinocchio (2008) and Cinderella (2012) were published by the French publishing house Actes Sud, in separate volumes, in no more than one year after their writing and stage premiere. The reviewer thinks about the French tale-adaptations that they are embedded in the reality of our present, because they question our relationship to​ the world and the mechanism of our family relations.
