Specially written by writer-in-residence, Carl Miller, this traditional story has been reworked with a contemporary relevance, whilst still preserving the dark undertones of the original story from the Brothers Grimm. Finding themselves lost in the woods, Hansel and Gretel discover an enchanting house made entirely of brightly coloured sweets. They tuck in - only to be met by the wicked witch who owns the delicious cottage - and who has plans for a meal of her own..... The production promises to be strikingly visual, with colour and light complemented by live music, written by composer-in-residence Francis Goodhand, and specially choreographed dance sequences.
