Rumpelstiltskin

A brand new, musical version of the much-loved Grimm Brothers' story Rumpelstiltskin opens at Bath's children's theatre this Christmas.

The Miller's daughter is a feisty, funny heroine with a formidable challenge before her. When her father makes a foolish boast to the king, the poor girl finds herself in a room filled with straw which she must spin into gold by morning. What a stroke of luck when a stranger appears promising to complete the task for her, in return for the gift of her jewellery. However, as time passes, with no more jewellery to give him, it looks like she will be forced to part with the treasure which she loves most of all - unless, of course, she can guess his name.

This captivating tale of loose tongues, desperate deals and the power of names, sees a talented cast and a multi-tasking, three-piece band bring the classic story of Rumpelstiltskin to life on stage with witty lyrics and swinging tunes.

Recommended for ages 7+ years.
