A new version by Mike Kenny. A spellbinding tale for families.

Follow the troubled Millers Daughter as she tries to outwit the greatest trickster of them all…

He’s sneaky,
He’s cheeky,
He’s…
Rumpelstiltskin!

Straw turns to gold and magic and mayhem are in the air. Before the sun rises will our brave heroine be able to solve the riddle and save the day or will rotten Rumple double cross her once and for all?

Hiccup Theatre spin live music, puppetry and mischievous storytelling into a golden new version of this classic fairytale by acclaimed, Olivier award winning writer Mike Kenny.
