The Clockwork Moth is a multimedia arts duo specialising in shadow theatre. Highly intricate, funny and atmospheric, Hansel &amp; Gretel is a new reworking of a 2019 production that was commissioned by The National Trust for Wray Castle in the Lake District.

Its production Three Golden Hairs was described as:

”…twilight entertainment, a place of dim light and mysterious figures emerging from the night. I almost envy the very young children in the audience: this will be something to linger in their dreams, a sibilant whisper interrupting their future lives as adults. Whispering of magic in the dark.”
