Hansel and Gretel arrive first for Christmas
November 24, 2008
Opening on November 28th (until Jan 10th) Hansel and Gretel is the first Christmas show to open, while not a pantomime the team who brought us the brilliant Christmas Carol are again promising something special.
Hansel is a boy who is full of bright ideas. His sister Gretel is mischievous and headstrong. Their mother - whom they worshipped - is dead. Their hapless father is now with a woman who hated their mother - and is having a child of her own.
Impoverished and destitute, when the family’s last crust of bread has gone Hansel and Gretel find themselves alone amongst the trees. But a monstrous danger lurks in the darkest part of the woods as the moon wanes over Kielder Forest.
Even with the help of some magical companions, they’ll need all of their cunning to escape a grisly fate.
Hot on the heels of Hansel and Gretel are the other North East Christmas shows which are more traditional pantomimes.
