Teapot Theatre's HANSEL & GRETEL Runs May 5-7 at Brighton Fringe Festival
By: Kelsey Denette Apr. 23, 2012
Once upon a tea time, there lived a very strange witch in the woods. When Hansel and Gretel are worried about their father, they set off to pick strawberries to cheer him up. Soon, distracted by the beauty of the forest and after playing for too long, it gets dark and Hansel and Gretel are lost! Through hunger, hope, cruelty and courage, Hansel and Gretel go on a journey to escape the very strange witch and to find their way home.
No child forgets the story of the witch, the breadcrumb trail and the gingerbread house. Described as "an enchanting experience, this new interactive adaptation of The Brothers Grimm tale will capture the imagination of children and adults alike." Performances across the first weekend of the Brighton Fringe Festival, with two shows each day including the bank holiday.
