Get tickets here to watch Hansel and Gretel at Shakespeare's Globe this winter!
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Hansel and Gretel, as a new version of The Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage transforms the Globe Theatre with poetry, songs and hope this winter.
What to expect:
When Hansel and Gretel’s parents decide their only option to give their children a better life is to abandon them in the woods, the children must fend for themselves.
‘A road made of bits of bread, says she? Yes, a road, and a road we can eat – follow me!’
Hansel and Gretel’s attempt to get home soon gets side-tracked – quite literally – by a trail of treats too good to resist and a seemingly-sweet stranger with a plan of her own…
Returning with a new recipe of music, mayhem and festive magic, this is a delicious treat for everyone aged 5+, so don't miss out - get tickets now and have them delivered instantly via email and SMS!
