Rapornzel is an adult “hairy” tale pantomime based on Rapunzel.

The story follows composer Gordon Schwinn, who collapses from a brain malformation while working on a children's TV show. He faces mortality, grapples with his creative ambitions, and confronts the surreal world of his hospital stay, including hallucinations of a frog character from his show. The musical explores themes of importance of time, life, love, and the healing power of art.

Rapornzel

by Tom Whalley

November 21-December 14

Rapornzel is an adult “hairy” tale pantomime based on Rapunzel.

Many years ago, the King and Queen of a far-off kingdom were blessed with a baby girl who had long, magical downstairs hair. One day, the jealous witch Mother F**ker kidnapped the child and locked her in a tower, selfishly hoarding her merkin magic for herself. With the help of local hairdresser Dame Fanny Pigtail, her thick-as-s**t son Pascal, the dashing Prince Ride-her, and the Hairy Fairy—will Rapornzel ever come out?
