There’s trouble brewing between England and France…

As King Henry V attempts to prove himself a worthy ruler, he brazenly lays claim to parts of France. When France mocks his claim, he leads the English forces across the Channel.

England is at war.

What is this castle call’d that stands hard by?
They call it Agincourt

'Hansel and Gretel' show artwork depicts a replica of the Globe made from gingerbread cake sits on a log slice in the centre of the image, surrounded by truffles and rosemary sprigs that imitate trees and boulders. White icing mimics icicles, and some orange icing drips down the walls. Powdered sugar drifts onto the platter like snow. Centred at the top of the image, white block-text reads ‘HANSEL AND GRETEL’.
