Hansel & Gretel

 A Kneehigh Theatre and Bristol Old Vic co-production  

 HANSEL AND GRETEL

a wonder tale

See the Hansel & Gretel video on You Tube

Times are tough for the family in the wood

They'd eat like kings if they only could

But hunger gnaws - famine stalks the land

Something quite wicked has the upper hand!

 
Poor mother and father must do "what is best"...

And Hansel and Gretel will be put to the test!

 
Armed with their very last slice of bread

Will they eat to survive

                       or

                                      leave

                      a

       trail

              home

                                       instead?

 
Let the irrepressible Kneehigh Theatre take you by the hand and lead you into deepest part of the forest! Prepare for a world of darkness, wit and wonder, of earthy delights and crooked shadows. A world that is sweet but never sugary.

This tender, tasty and terrifying re-telling of the classic story is told through lively music, rough poetry, the most amazing gadgets and gizmos... and with the help of some rather unlucky rabbits.

Join Kneehigh for temptations impossible to resist. For children and brave adults everywhere.
