  • Age Guidance:Recommended for ages 7 & up
  • Duration:Approx. 1 hour 30 minutes (plus interval)

A father says his daughter can spin straw into gold – but is it the truth that’s being told?

Join us in the King’s palace this Christmas as we present:

Rumplestiltskin 

Dark forests, tall towers and more than a little magic


A new spin on the classic fairytale, Rumplestiltskin follows the miller’s daughter as she’s locked in a tower tasked with making good on her father’s boasts of spinning straw into gold. Help comes along in the mysteriously magical Rumplestiltskin – but gold doesn’t come cheap and there’s a rather unique price to pay.

Dark forests, tall towers and nods to characters from across the fairytale world promise a golden festive treat for all the family to enjoy. And with the winning team of Kevin Dyer & Patrick Dineen (from last year’s Little Red) behind the show, you can expect some energetic music and a little audience participation too!
