The StoryDeep in an enchanted forest, everybody’s looking for something to eat. A tasty treat, a sticky sweet - some children’s feet!

Hansel and Gretel are lost, searching for a way home, only to find themselves on the menu of a sweet-toothed witch.

Goody and Storey and Norwich Puppet Theatre present a colourful retelling of the classic Grimms’ fairy tale, serving up a feast of delicious music, dynamic scenery and knock-your-socks-off puppetry.

A show to tickle your eyes, your ears, and your tastebuds.

Our AdaptationFrom his lonely tent, deep in the woods, our narrator will conjure up a classic piece ofpuppet theatre, whilst working his way through packet upon packet of ginger nuts.

With bold and playful puppets, a beautiful, transformative set, and wonderful new music from Stephen Crowe (“the future of new opera” - The Independent), Hansel and Gretel will take you on a journey to a bizarre and enticing kingdom in the woods, presided over by a flamboyant and hungry witch. A good old-fashioned celebration of a classic fairy tale.
