What’s On

Hansel & Gretel at Shakespeare’s The Globe

A festive must-see for all the family!

Following last year’s run, this year’s production is the Brothers Grimm’s classic story, with brand new songs directed by Nick Bagnall and written by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage. The cast comprises Mason Clark-Whale as Ensemble, Ned Costello as Hansel, Lizzie Grace as Ensemble / Cover, Aaron McCallum Hepple as Ensemble / Cover, Harry Hepple as Dad / Swanny, Jenni Maitland as Narrator, Jamie-Rose Mon.

The current production of Hansel & Gretel at Shakespeare’s Globe in London has been praised for its imaginative reinterpretation of the classic tale. Running until January 5, 2025, the show is set in a modern, war-torn setting, adding layers of moral complexity to the story. Armitage’s witty rhyming verse complements a whimsical production featuring striking visual elements, including the iconic candy house. The production blends humour and poignancy with standout musical numbers composed by Patrick J Pearson.

Tickets range from £5 for standing to £55 for seated options.

The performances are scheduled with varying times to accommodate audiences:

  • Weekday Performances: Generally at 1:00 PM or 5:30 PM depending on the day.
  • Weekend Performances: Feature multiple slots, including matinees at 1:30 PM or 2:30 PM, and evening shows at 4:30 PM or 5:30 PM.

This show is performed outdoors, so performances conclude early to ensure audience comfort. The production lasts about 1 hour.
