Hansel and Gretel puppets star

Lucy Kirkwood’s adaptation of The Brothers’ Grimm’s fairytale classic Hansel and Gretel, originally presented by the National Theatre, is the next production from Manchester’s Library Theatre’s Young Company.

This imaginative interpretation features props, puppets, and scenery made by members of Cornerhouse’s LiveWire Young People’s Programme, who, like all the performers in the production, are aged 14 to 19.
