Hansel & Gretel and the Witch

Step into a fairytale world of sugar-glass houses, an all-you-can-eat merry-go-round, a witch who keeps regenerating and two giant chickens!

Following the success of their fairytale trilogy — Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin and Snow White — balletLORENT returns with a brand-new take on Hansel & Gretel. 

With spectacular dance, colourful costumes, plenty of surprises and a feast of knitted and crocheted treats, Hansel & Gretel and the Witch is a sweet and dark fairytale for the whole family, aged 5+. 

Featuring nine professional dancers alongside a young community cast, this imaginative production brings the classic story to life with energy, humour and theatrical magic. 

But there’s a twist in the tale… Former Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy has written a brand-new ending that might not be quite what you expect. 

Narrated by Gina McKee, with music by Murray Gold, set design by Mayou Trikerioti, lighting by Malcolm Rippeth and costumes by Nazir Mazhar, the production is packed with bold design, spectacular dance and unexpected delights. 

Come and discover a Hansel & Gretel like you’ve never seen before — a deliciously dark, playful adventure where the familiar fairytale takes some surprising turns.
