Hansel and Gretel 24/25

Globe Theatre
Prices: £55.00 - £5.00 Book Now

Tuck into ‘a real treat’ ★★★★ (Time Out) for the whole family this winter and immerse yourself in the ‘enchanting’ (London Theatre Reviews) world of Hansel and Gretel, by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage.

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. But their attempt to get home soon gets side-tracked by an irresistible trail of treats and a seemingly-sweet stranger with a plan of her own…

This modern re-telling of the Brothers Grimm’s famous fairy tale, directed by Nick Bagnall, is ‘full of charming twists and funny songs… with plenty of magic’ ★★★★ (Broadway World).

So follow the trail of breadcrumbs into the Globe Theatre for ‘a jolly family show’ (The Guardian) that’s perfect for everyone age 5+. But hurry – limited performances must end on 5 January 2025.

 Content guidance: This modern retelling of the classic fairy tale contains references to conflict, war and grief.

Allergy guidance: This performance uses inflatable props containing latex products, which will pass through the audience.
