Who could resist a house made of candy? Reliable Hansel and spoiled Gretel take a bite (or two) in this reworked fairy tale, but a few fresh surprises are in store for the siblings. Captured by an evil witch until their debts are paid off, the two soon discover that the cottage's enchanted furniture were once children, and vow to free them all...somehow. In a play about magical transformations of many kinds, can Gretel focus on saving the lives of others or is she doomed to become a bed stand forever?
