Rapunzel is a bewitching adaptation of the Grimm’s fairytale, featuring the music of Jacques Ibert, a French composer in the early 1900s. In our story, Witch Wartsmith wants a baby, and after bargaining for little Rapunzel, she must go to great lengths to keep the growing girl out of the hands of a handsome prince. The Puppet Co. uses the charm and simplicity of hand puppets, created by founding director Allan Stevens and performed by puppeteer Eric Brooks, in a production designed to delight its younger audiences.
