The Globe Talks: Simon Armitage in Conversation
Join Poet Laureate and writer of our new production of Hansel and Gretel, Simon Armitage, in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for an exclusive In Conversation event.
In this informal Q&A session, learn more about Simon’s writing process, including his approach to adapting the Brothers Grimm’s classic fairytale for the 21st century, first for his acclaimed epic poem and then for the stage, to fill our iconic wooden ‘O’ with humanity, humour and hope over the festive period.
Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to ask the Poet Laureate and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature your questions.
Experience Hansel and Gretel on stage yourself – book tickets to our production in the Globe Theatre from 29 November to 5 January.
This event is part of The Globe Talks, a new series of essential conversations exploring the work we do in relation to the world we live in.
