Photo Flash: Shadowland Theatre's HANSEL & GRETEL A CASE STUDY

The acclaimed Shadowland Theatre returns to the Toronto Islands with an outdoor, all-ages, processional cabaret performance of Hansel and Gretel - A Case Study, a darkly humorous take on the legendary coming-of-age German fairy tale from the Grimm Brothers. Hansel and Gretel - A Case Study weaves through Ward's Island August 9 to August 14, taking audiences into the deep, dark forests of their imagination.

Combining live music from Brecht and Weill's The Threepenny Opera, Shadowland's theatre of spectacle, song and site-specific performance reveals the deeper meaning in the Hansel and Gretel rite of passage tale - with the help of none other than Sigmund Freud for a triple deutsch black forest treat!
