Hansel and Gretel at The Junction, Cambridge, CB1 7GX

December 7, 2011 at 11am to January 3, 2012 at 2pm
In the middle of a snow-covered forest sits a tiny cottage unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Its roof is made of gingerbread, the walls are made of chocolate cake, the door is made of boiled sweets and the windows of clear sugar glaze, but what’s inside? Follow Hansel and Gretel into the frozen forest… and find out. Adapting the classic fairytale with NIE's trademark blend of live music, clowning and storytelling, Hansel & Gretel is a beautiful show for all the family to…See More

Philip Hardy replied to Stuart Mullins's discussion 'Why haven't we got a major festival of children and young peoples theatre in England?'
Interesting discussion. Personnally, I believe that exposure to quality work nutures the same. In Ireland we had a magnificent impressario who, fifty odd years ago, felt that theatre in this country could do with a kick and that exposure to other…

Engaging younger audiences

 Hello to all,As I continue to write I find there are two opposing ideas for creating theatre which engages younger audiences. The first, is to create small intimate pieces of work and the other is to create large epic pieces. Do creatives have a preference or a belief that one is more engaging than the other? See More
