A twisted take on the stickiest fairy tale we could find.
Hansel and Gretel are si blings who are abandoned in a forest, and due to some rather unfortunate na vigation, they fall into the hands of a nasty witch who lives in a gingerbr ead house. With songs you know and love, hilarious characters, and the sill iest of stories, this sugar-laden panto will have you rolling in the aisles !
Who is this show for?
As in past years, the C
apitol has performances suitable for both the ‘Naughty’,
suitable for a mature audience; and the ‘Nice’, suitable
for young audiences and families.
Ok, but what is a Panto?
Pantomime or panto is a holiday theatre tradition of organized
chaotic comedy, with slapstick jokes, songs, and dancing. It’s also highly
interactive, making it a joyful experience for artists and audiences alike.
Pantos are typically based on fairy tales or legends – familiar tales that
can be shaped into
new stories for today.
“Pantos are magical – colourful in style, set and language, and just so much fun. Northumberland county takes holiday celebrations seriously, and the panto has become an a nnual tradition for many folks in the area. We produce an original panto ev ery year, so you’re going to see and hear something new each time.” ~Capito l Artistic Director Rob Kempson.
How long is the show?
Run time is approximately 120 minutes.
