Snip Snap! Rapunzel Retold

A one woman puppet play by Joy Haynes Little Chair Projects

Wed 2nd August 11am & 2pm

This event has passed

£8.50

One day a woman stood by a little window and looked down on the splendid garden next door. It was planted with a lush green vegetable called ‘Rapunzel’ – it looked so delicious she longed to eat some…
So begins an iconic story of impossibly long hair, ties that bind and the desire to belong, of cutting loose and new beginnings. Full of humour, magic and surprising costume transformations, Snip Snap! reimagines the familiar with enchanting original imagery and playful glove puppets.

Suitable for ages 4+ and family audiences.
