She’s the queen of her tower, the mistress of mischief. With big hair and even bigger dreams Rapunzel’s curls fizz like fireworks and her imagination roams wild and free.

Rapunzel stands out. Or she would, if anyone was there to see her. She’s been told that like her hair, she needs to be tamed because the outside world isn’t ready for her yet.

Across the city, a young Prince wants to be alone. Overshadowed by his brother, he’s never fitted in and knows he’ll never be the King everyone expects. On the eve of his coronation he makes a run for it – straight to a lonely tower in the woods.

Could this shy boy be the key to Rapunzel’s freedom? Or is the world too much of a scary place to be yourself?

Let your hair down this Christmas and join Saltmine Theatre Company’s unexpectedly twisty tall tale as we unravel the knots of being different, being free – and being yourself.

Welcome to Bert and Horace’s junkyard. They collect, curate and repurpose all the rubbish that the world doesn’t want.

One day Charlie turns up in their yard. She begins to tell them how she took her inheritance and left home to explore life in the big city. Charlie’s life was full of luxury with epic parties, rock star friends and even a pet chihuahua but this faded into nothing when the money disappeared. She is empty pocketed, feeling pretty worthless and a long, long way from home.

Through song, storytelling and laughter, Bert and Horace show Charlie that she is not as ‘rubbish’ as she thinks and help her to consider whether she could take the long road home back to her Dad.

With a little bit of help from some deliciously silly sweetie friends, Clara must figure out the answer to the great, big, sticky, sugary question: Can mending something on the outside fix what is truly broken?
