Hansel and Gretel
Two teams of narrators compete to tell the tale of Hansel and Gretel the way they think it should be done
Hansel and Gretel’s father has remarried after their mother’s death. Their Stepmother is determined to get rid of them. Abandoned in a forest the children meet a tribe of banter birds, and a witch equally obsessed with baking and eating children. The tale is told by two sets of narrators with very different views on how the fairy tale should be told.
