Hansel & Gretel at Broadway Theatre

Enter a world of light and shadow, of darkness and deception, a helter-skelter journey through ghostly horizons and feasts of sweetness.… a re-imagining of the famous tale, created by a stellar artistic team.

 The words of international poet Simon Armitage retell the famous story in an extended lyrical poem entwined with chamber music by composer Matthew Kaner, one of the most original voices of his generation.  Shadowplay and animations designed by renowned artist Clive Hicks-Jenkins combine with table top-puppets created by the legendary Jan Zalud. 

Hansel & Gretel presents a hauntingly evocative collection of art-forms, drawing audiences into an uneasy yet curiously familiar landscape where glittering sugar-highs combine with poignant lyricism. The music features an unusual dark-hued collective of viola, cello, cor anglais, clarinet, horn and the eerie childhood sounds of toy pianos, led by the remarkable story-teller and singer Adey Grummet.
