With World Children's Day upon us, we're thrilled to let you know that the magnificent cast has been announced for Chiswick Playhouse's enchanting re-imagining of Hansel and Gretel this winter!
Leading the way into the magical forest is Pippa Conway (Oh, What A Lovely War!, Gulbenkian Theatre; Dracula, The Ballroom; Mary and Joseph, Southwark Playhouse) as Gretel alongside Joshua Oakes-Rogers (The Dead Room, BBC Four; Body and Sold, Park Theatre; Vespertilio, VAULT Festival) as Hansel.
Also joining the cast are Serena Flynn (Baubo: Goddess of Filth, Soho Theatre; Prune; Edinburgh Fringe) as Stepmother and Witch and Tomi Ogbaro (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre; Sweet Charity, Watermill Theatre; Seagulls, Octagon Theatre) as Father and Tony The Cockroach.
With a dazzling original soundtrack, this musical extravaganza will transport audiences to a fascinating candy-filled land this Christmas! Taking inspiration from environmental and climate activist Greta Thunberg, this Hansel and Gretel has an inescapable relevance for today's younger Extinction Rebellion generation.
Dates: Wednesday 4th December 2019 - Saturday 4th January 2020
