Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Hansel and Gretel, as a new version of The Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage transforms the Globe Theatre with poetry, songs and hope this winter.

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.

Hansel and Gretel’s attempt to get home soon gets side-tracked – quite literally – by a trail of treats too good to resist and a seemingly-sweet stranger with a plan of her own…

Returning with a new recipe of music, mayhem and festive magic, this is a delicious treat for everyone aged 5+ directed by Nick Bagnall (Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Globe).

Amazing experience!

Not a great place to watch - it was in the open

Really disappointing. The sound was terrible. We didn’t actually got the chance to enjoy the play as we were evacuated right in the middle. Of course, no explanation and I suppose no compensation. Also, when booking it wasn’t made very clear that actually the play was outside. But, like my friend said, once you were there once, you know next time! It wasn’t so much for me, but for my little one who actually was enjoying it! I won’t come back as I don’t think it worth the effort!

Lovely afternoon at the theatre with my 8 and 10 year old nieces. We had standing tickets and enjoyed the show. The cast move through the audience during the performance which everyone thought was fun. Friendly helpful staff and an easily accessible venue.

Great introduction to Shakespear production. None of my family had been to the globe nor have interst in shakespear, but we all enjoyed it.

Kingsley Ngonye

It was very engaging and humerous

For children it is entertainment. It was not what I expected. I saw many people who enjoyed the performance, but I personally did not like it.

Found it difficult to keep on track with the story line. Didn’t think it was suitable for children under 8 years old

I paid almost £100 for 4 seats on the side gallery knowing that we may not get good views. However, the main problem was that we could not hear a single thing that the narrator was saying as she spoke so quietly. Hence we didn't know what was happening and my grandchildren who are 12 & 14 got bored very quickly as did I and my son. Having blocked vision is not a problem if you can hear, so unfortunately I really felt that I had wasted my money as we left during the 2nd half of the performance. Others around us also said the same and another lady left with her children as they lost all concentration and interest and began talking and playing in the stands which didn't help so she removed them.

It was amazing ??

The show is mainly for people who are not interested in WestEnd shows.

Amanda Guild

Very disappointing, I would have expected far more from the Globe theatre. I was also very embarrassed throughout as this was a Christmas treat for my friends. We were so looking forward to it …. What a shame all the children attending didn’t have the opportunity to see the traditional fairytale….and you had the perfect setting to do it in … words fail me
