Description The second children's play performed by the Company (Hansel and Gretel, 1980). Cervantes' book was condensed into a workable form through improvisations on Don Quixote's major adventures. These were open rehearsed with a local primary school and the production utilised two adjoining theatre spaces to evoke a sense of journey.
