RAPUNZEL – Family fun written by Tom Whalley

and directed by Angie McLeod.

Rapunzel, let down your hair! Evil Mother Gothel (Booo!) is keeping Princess Rapunzel locked in a tower to use her magic hair to keep her looking young. Join our rag-tag bunch of heroes; Prince Ryder, Fairy Dandruff, Pascal, King Bouffant, and Dame Fanny Follicle, in a silly slapstick attempt to find her. Will our heroes find and rescue the princess? Will Fairy Dandruff get her wings? Will there be a ridiculous over-the-top slow-motion battle involving a frying pan and a pair of scissors? Come find out! Boo the bad guys and cheer the good in this Hair-larious Panto.

One family. Three children. Four decades. Life unfolds as planned for Ruth, Bill and their adult children until – gradually – it doesn’t. Certainties collapse, beliefs evolve, and secrets are revealed. A hilarious, yet poignant, snapshot of family life through the decades, brimming with sibling dynamics and family rituals (good and bad) that will have you nodding in recognition. All of it through the amusing nostalgia of the 80s, 90s, and beyond. Indeed…if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans!

It’s a lively time at the pub tonight. While the Landlord and Landlady have their own issues, the regulars give us great insights into relationships. The Old Man and Old Woman teach us what is important even when getting old. Moth and Mrs. Igor dance their way into our hearts with their flirty shenanigans as they ignore their partners. While Alice and Fred give us a glimpse of a fun night out with someone you love. All this diverts us from the Landlord and Landlady’s problems, but a lost little boy leads us into a dramatic and surprising climax.

A delightful screwball comedy that shows how living life on your own terms can lead to the happiest of outcomes. When a high-society romance collides with a quirky, free-spirited family, the results are a whirlwind of chaos, laughter, and unexpected love. As two vastly different worlds collide, the play celebrates individuality, the importance of following your heart, and the value of family bonds. Full of wit, charm, and heartfelt moments, this classic stage production proves that sometimes, the most unconventional paths lead to the most joyous destination.
