Cast: 3m., 3w. This Hansel and Gretel is filled with imagination, psychological insights, and, above all, theatricality. Moses Goldberg has set the story in the round with an intimate audience who shares the action in a direct, physical way. From the Oriental theatre he borrowed the mute Propman, who changes the set and acts out minor characters and props in mime. The commedia inspired him to present the actors, through a prologue, as a band of strolling players which improvises on demand, mimes, dances and sings, accompanied by their own simple instruments. The result, as many have acclaimed: "The best Hansel and Gretel adaptation I've ever seen." Simple set. Approximate running time: 1 hour.
