Hansel and Gretel and the Great Baking Festival

This is the ninth successive pantomime, delivered through Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s Fèisgoil service, with the production made possible thanks to funding from Bòrd na Gàidhlig.

The pantomime was written and directed by Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s Drama Officer Angus Macleod. Props and set design are by Shannon White and costume design by Laura Cowie.

Angus Macleod said: “The play takes the traditional fairy tale and gives it a fun, original twist with references to the popular Great British Bake Off. The characters provide a lot of fun and silliness which children will find appealing and numerous other elements including song, puppetry and music. It’s also a great opportunity for children to experience Gaelic drama and interact with the actors. I was delighted to secure such a talented cast of Gaelic speakers with a wide range of acting experience.”
