With their trademark brand of wit, charm and sometimes anarchic storytelling, the innovative Cornish theatre company has re-imagined the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale in which times are tough and food is scarce for poor Hansel and Gretel. But who could ignore the lure of a magical gingerbread house and its boundless sweet treats?"
