The Show A beautifully epic new version of The Brothers Grimmâ??s fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, transforms the Globe Theatre this winter.
The boyâ??s name was Hansel.
The girlâ??s name was Gretel.
The dad was a woodcutter.
The mum was a bread maker.
In the rubble of their war-torn village, the woodcutting dad and the breadmaking mum decide that the only chance they have to give their children a safer life is to lead them â?? and leave them â?? in the woods.
Left to fend for themselves, Hansel and Gretelâ??s plans to find their way home get side-tracked, quite literally, by a trail of treats too good to resist and a strange old lady with a plan of her ownâ?¦ Filled with music, magic, songs and a sprinkling of hope, the stage premiere of this new production of Simon Armitageâ??s poem, directed by Nick Bagnall (Loveâ??s Labourâ??s Lost; Two Gentlemen of Verona, Globe), is the perfect treat for everyone aged 5+.
â??A road made of bits of bread, says she? Yes, a road, and a road we can eat â?? follow me!â??__Assisted Performances:__Audio-Described - Tuesday 2 January matineeCaptioned - Friday 22 December morning and Saturday 6 January morningBritish Sign Language - Friday 22 December matinee and Wednesday 3 January matineeRelaxed - Thursday 4 January matinee and Saturday 6 January matinee
