  Hansel and Gretel  
  A word of warning: don’t go down to the woods today. Hansel and Gretel have been abandoned by their cold-hearted stepmother and spineless father. They’re all alone, and that forest is so scary and mean and full of ghastly surprises.

What will you do when you discover the sweetest of houses hiding the wickedest of witches? Will you be able to resist the fabulous feast of giant candy canes, luscious lollipops and sweet, spicy gingerbread? Who can say what dreadful things might happen?

Catherine Wheels Theatre Company reinvents the classic story of Hansel and Gretel as a spine-chilling promenade adventure. This unmissable version is based on the National Theatre of Scotland’s Home: East Lothian – winner of the 2006 Critics’ Awards for Best Show for Children and Young People and Best Design.
