27 November – 17 January

This Christmas, experience the enchantment of Tobacco Factory Theatres’ spellbinding and inventively playful take on a beloved Brothers Grimm fairytale. 

With rich acoustic music, playful storytelling and a touch of festive magic, this inventive and empowering retelling of the classic tale is brought to life by writer Sharon Clark and director Tom Brennan. It’s a story about growing up, speaking out and finding your voice — all set in a world where the trees are tall, the hair is even taller, and nothing is quite what it seems.

At the heart of Rapunzel – A Hairy Tale is a young person bursting with imagination, ready to be heard for the very first time.

“I wanted to tell a story about a young person finding their voice – not just literally, but in a deeper, more powerful way,” said Sharon Clark. “Rapunzel might be trapped in a tower, but she’s full of questions, ideas and hope. This version of the tale is about what happens when we dare to speak up, reach out and shape the world around us.”

This bold, brilliant show blends magical storytelling with original music, warm humour and a big-hearted ensemble cast.

“This show is a celebration of curiosity, courage and connection – and it’s packed with music, mischief and a lot of very big hair,” said Tom Brennan. “We want families to leave the theatre feeling joyful, inspired and more than a little untangled!”
