Details

When their Mother sends Hansel and Gretel out of the house to look for food, the children quickly find themselves lost in the depths of a dark forest. Finally, almost starving, they find a house made of bread, cakes and sweets. No one's about; in their relief they begin to eat. However, the house is inhabited by a Witch, who hunts children to turn into gingerbread. She captures Hansel and Gretel, and begins to fatten them up, ready for the oven... An innovative re-imagining of Humperdicnk's classic opera. Updated to the 1950s, this show explores the hunger for food and fame, what's good and healthy for us, and what's too good to be true.
