Hansel & Grettel
The North Wall Arts Centre - December 2024 - January 2025
Join Hansel, Grettel, and a host of bewitching characters and feathered friends as they serve up a musical menu of catchy songs, mystical spells, and just a touch of winter magic.
Journey with us deep into the heart of the woodland, where the Witches of Winter rise from the frozen earth to prepare for the awakening of their leader, a mysterious witch known as the Priestess of Winter. Only the birds circling in the cold air high above can save them from the most powerful witch in the land.

Reviews
-
"Cory Shipp’s design is effective and inventive, multi-levelled and with a smack of genius, all enhanced by Will Alder’s wonderful lighting design. On a technical level, this is a work that sings."
-
"The lighting and stage effects (hello, billowing clouds of dry ice) ramp up the drama even more. The set is bathed in witchy hues of green and purple at the most ominous plot points, with suitably menacing sounds off-stage"
