Hansel and Gretel – Saturday 4 January 12.30pm
Suitable for all ages.
The magic of the Grimm tales comes to life in this mischievous production. It’s a fairy tale adventure for all.
Sent into the woods to look for strawberries, the hungry Hansel and Gretel are about to embark on a fantastic adventure.
As they fall asleep, a fairy tale world comes to life around them.
But the mysterious forest is not always safe for children, and little do they know, something darkly delicious awaits them when they wake…
In addition to being relaxed, this performance will be audio-described and have captions.
What are our relaxed, sensory-adapted performances?
Relaxed performances and events can help to support neurodiverse audiences, those living with dementia, and those who have learning disabilities or experience anxiety.
These performances are also helpful if you are anxious about sitting in one place for a long time or need to access the bathrooms and exits quickly.
A sensory-adapted performance or event includes changes and reductions in lighting and sound effects.
Before the performance begins, we will also highlight any surprises and difficult content in the performance.
The auditorium and surrounding lights are always on and not all the seats will be filled.
If you need to make noise, move around or take a break, that’s okay.
A visual story and building guide are available to help you enjoy the story and find your way around.
There are quiet areas available for you to relax in.
