Hansel and Gretel the Pantomime

Nigel Judson

Washington Theatre Group present this lively, modern twist on Hansel and Gretel, siblings Hansel and his cautious sister Gretel venture into a magical forest filled with surprises, encountering a mix of hilarious and mischievous characters, from their quirky Nanny-turned-influencer to a sarcastic AI assistant, Bing Bong. Their journey takes a darker turn when they cross paths with a bumbling witch and her dim-witted minion, who have sinister plans for the children. With the spirit of the woods, Willow Wisp, watching over them, Hansel and Gretel must rely on their wits—and a little help from the audience—to make it home safely

About WTG

Washington Theatre Group is made up of members of different ages, backgrounds, skills and experiences working together to put on a great show.

We welcome and encourage new members to join and take part in whatever aspects of theatre production interests them, but also encourage people to dip a toe outside of their comfort zone and try new things such as painting set, writing a script, acting on stage and controlling light and sound. Everything is important. It’s also a great way to meet new people and make new friends.

If you’re interested in joining, just pop along to the Arts Centre in Washington on a Tuesday night around 7pm and ask at reception for Washington Theatre Group. If you would like more information before taking the plunge please use the contact form on this page or on the Contact Us page.

NOTE: WTG is an adult theatre group, all members must be 18 years of age or above. For information about children’s theatre groups please contact the Arts Centre .
