Trouble is brewing in the woods...

The wicked Witch Craft is sick of sweets, so she’s decided to have Hansel and Gretel, the Woodcutter’s children, for her dinner! The only one who can foil her evil plan is Fairy Mary – if only she could remember where she left her magic wand...

In the meantime, Dame Esme Handle, assisted by her daughters Pan and Broom, are living in the forest dreaming of a better life. Brave Prince George is in the woods too, looking for his stolen treasure, and maybe the girl of his dreams. But look out for the wolves!

Join the Woodhouse Players for their version of the classic Brothers Grimm Fairy tale with lots of fun, songs and laughter.
