Lust and Shame in the Gingerbread House

Overview

In this darkly funny retelling of the tale of Hansel and Gretel, a beautiful witch keeps Hans and Greta in the Gingerbread House deep in the woods. Hans fixes cuckoo clocks and tries to kiss Greta, who seems to encourage him but screams whenever he touches her. Greta seems to remember a previous existence with their one-eyed, chicken smelling parents, but the Witch wants to stuff Hans in the oven.
