This beloved children’s classic, devised for a company of actor/musicians but easily played by off-stage musicians instead, amazes and delights as Gretel must outwit the witch who has taken Hansel prisoner and prepares to eat him, told with all the hallmarks of traditional pantomimes in this fantastic adventure to delight all ages!
