“...the movement is taut and lively throughout. The title pair are effervescent and playful in the kitchen in Act one. The Gingerbread Witch has pitch-perfect mannerisms in her fascist incarnation, while moving elsewhere with malevolent gracefulness. Peter, sung by Edward Kim, is a hugely characterful presence. His voice is chilling and compelling in his Act one narration about the Witch, portraying a swaggering drunk on his first entrance. "
