Written by Rory Lambert, Directed by Nicole Rousseau.
Tangly is a Christmas Pantomime that blends Rapunzel with a pinch of Rumpelstiltskin, a tablespoon of Gift of the Magi and a heaping helping of the classic Newfoundland Mummers Play. When spunky Rapunzel Rhubarb is kidnapped by the Old Hag, it’s up to Buttons to save her. With a pocketful of sea urchins, a pet jellyfish and a gang of pals at his side he’ll venture up the harbour and down the shore; from Greens Harbour to Old St. John’s Towne to the depths of the Winter Woods and magical Macaroni Tower to save the day. A play brimming with song and dance, magic spells, audience interaction and zany wit and charm, Tangly will kick off Christmas with a smile on your face and a glow in your cheeks.
Starring Rory Lambert as Buttons, Deidre Gillard-Rowlings* as The Hag, Paul Wilson* as Widow Rhubarb, Colin Furlong as The Prince/The King/Mr. Cooper, and Laura Huckle as Rapunzel, this is a show for the whole family to enjoy.
