Hansel and Gretel

Company: Nottingham Playhouse Running time: 50min approx Age recommendation: 3–8 years

Hansel and Gretel are lost in the enchanted forest with no breadcrumbs to follow home. Cold and tired, they stumble upon a cosy cottage made from delicious gingerbread and are invited inside… But this hideaway in the woods may not be as sweet as it seems.

Join Hansel and Gretel as they learn to work together, outsmart a Wicked Witch and find their way back home—they may even need your help along the way!
