Dance review: Hansel and Gretel, Linbury Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House
Turning Hansel and Gretel into a ballet, Liam Scarlett is determined to be very, very dark. Updated to the 1950s, his version of the fairy tale features domestic violence, a paedophile witch and warnings that this production is not suitable for children. Despite clever design and a fine cast from The Royal Ballet, Scarlett can't make his own story bite.
