WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Fierce, feisty and funky, this damsel in distress is unlike any long-locked Rapunzel you've ever seen! For one, her hair is not that fairy tale mantle of long golden waves, but raven-black handfuls of dreadlocks, thankyouverymuch. Springtime brings the New York debut of England's award-winning Kneehigh Theatre to The New Victory with a non-traditional rendition of Rapunzel's fight for freedom.
This hard-boiled heroine takes on deceitful tricksters, dangerous characters - and a way overprotective mother - in her quest for true and lasting love. Smart, engrossing and accompanied by live folk music, Kneehigh weaves intrigue and magic into this startling and gritty telling of a story you thought you knew.

Not since Into the Woods has there been a theatrical fairy tale as dark and ingenious as the Kneehigh Theatre Company's delightfully adult production of
Rapunzel, playing at The New Victory Theater. You will certainly recognize the familiar fairy tale in this telling, written by Annie Siddons and directed and adapted by Emma Rice, but you will get considerably more than the simple story you may remember from childhood -- including a five-minute digression in which a character stops the show to define inflation. Full of music, slapstick, inventive staging, and wonderfully broad and funny performances by the seven-member troupe, this is a show you could happily take in with or without your ki[...]
