c21 Theatre Company is proud to announce its Irish tour of last year’s box-office hit show Hansel and Gretel.  The famous story is written and directed by the Company’s Artistic Director Peter Quigley and produced by Stephen Kelly.

The touring production will open in The Newcastle Centre, Newcastle on 30^th November 2011 continuing through to the tour end in An Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny on 21^st December 2011.

c21 are delighted to be back with the world famous story of the young girl and boy who get lost in the forest and stumble across an old woman’s candy house.

Using the cautionary fairytale of the Brothers Grimm for inspiration, we have created the ideal show for children at Christmas.

Hansel and Gretel are the young children of a poor woodcutter and his wife – a family so penniless that they're almost starving. The children encounter a magical house in the woods, made entirely of sweets, inhabited by a Witch – who's quite determined to have Hansel and Gretel as part of the menu for her supper!

Join us for the fun and thrills of this colourful adventure and laughs galore in this festive treat.
