“A Christmas banger of a show!”
We are thrilled that Hansel & Gretel at the Tobacco Factory Theatre has received an outpouring of glowing reviews since its press night on December 4th. Audiences and critics alike have praised the show for its clever staging, self-referential storytelling, amazingly talented performers, and Christmas magic that delights adults and children alike.
We are really excited to be back in Bristol for Christmas this year – because of the lovely space and wonderful audiences, Tobacco Factory Theatres is our favourite place to play. Hansel & Gretel was the first large scale Christmas show that we made, and it’s been an absolute treat to revisit the show this time around. Huge thanks to the amazing cast, to our board for all their support and to all of our funders and contributors – We are so pleased that it has gone down so well with audiences…
“Ingenious storytelling that keeps audiences of all ages enthralled…a must-see show to pop on your Christmas theatre list.”
“The perfect family-friendly Christmas Show to add to your Festive schedules…We walked away with aching jaws from laughter, and huge grins from a great show that’s put us in the festive spirit!”
*****
“It does a jolly good job at beckoning you further into its bizarre world with impish glee…I already want to go back for a second helping of its gingerbread goodness before the festive season’s over.
“Moving, touching, absurd, silly, hilarious, knowing, witty, it is at times self-referential, caring not a fig for conventions, fourth walls or any kind of wall, the show has that magical power to pull us into its own little world.”
*****
“The energy and imagination…and all those magical touches that you’d hope for in making those family theatre memories.
We are also treated to a slew of local and contemporary references, a dollop of audience interaction and plenty of breaking the fourth wall, which keeps the older audience members amused.”
“If you’ve never watched a Christmas show at the Tobacco Factory – go get yourself some tickets asap…I’ve been recommending to everyone I’ve seen – such a great show and the perfect way to kick start Christmas”
“Hansel & Gretel, leaves audiences feeling warm and uplifted with its magical reimagining of the beloved tale.”
The show runs at the Tobacco Factory Theatres until 19th January ’25 – Get your tickets here.
