Hansel si Gretel

Fratii Grimm au scris aceasta poveste frumoasa in anul 1812. Ea a aparut in cartea de basme Deutsches Märchenbuch 1856 editata de Ludwig Bechsteins. Am facut un scenariu dupa aceasta poveste. Vom face piesa de teatru intro manifestare dedicata copiilor de clasa a III a. Mai pot inca lucra la acest scenariu pana la sfarsitul lui februarie. Orice idei noi sunt binevenite.
