Meet the cast of Hansel & Gretel!

Meet our amazing cast of the 2025-26 Children’s Christmas Show, Hansel & Gretel!

We look forward to welcoming a familiar face and a brand new face to The Courtyard stage this festive season! Hamish MacAulay, who will be playing Hansel is an actor from Southampton, who graduated from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. You may recognise Hamish from our Wuthering Heights production earlier this year! Megan Jay, who will be playing Gretel, trained at Bird College of Dance and Musical Theatre graduating in 2019, and has acted in several theatre productions (Jack and the Beanstalk, Love is Madness, The Grass is Always Greener), films (Walkers House, Chuck Chuck Baby, Enemy of the Heart), and music videos (Jesy Nelson – Bad Thing).

A poster with a winter forest with sweets at the bottom, logo above is made out of gingerbread biscuits and reads ‘Hansel & Gretel’. Text underneath this reads ‘Meet the cast'. The other two images are of gingerbread biscuits with headshots on top of the biscuits. The letters next to them read 'Hamish' and 'Megan'.
