Theatregoers can take to the stage in a hands-on production of Hansel and Gretel at the Vera Fletcher Hall in Thames Ditton on Saturday, November 28.

The new musical adaptation of the classic fairytale is being performed by Image Musical Theatre.

Children from the audience will have the chance to take part in the action and everyone can join in with the chorus songs.

In the pioneering production Hansel and Gretel meet three dancing gingerbread men and a colourful, eccentric witch.

By working together the siblings overcome all the threats of the forest and set a shining example of hope for their struggling parents.

There will be a rehearsal workshop at 2.30pm followed by an interval then the hour-long performance.

Tickets cost £6. Call 0844 8848832 or visit Bradley and Brown on Thames Ditton High Street.
