Christmas: Rumpelstiltskin

Tue 3 Dec → Tues 24 Dec 2024 | Various times
5yrs+
£10.50 (standard) | £7 (concession) | £6 Local Links

From the team that brought you Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty  - presented by Platform in association with Glasgow Kelvin College and written by Lewis Hetherington

Rumpelstiltskin has never fitted in. Is he a Troll? A Goblin? A Stinky Bog Monster? No one really knows! But he’s excited to head out into the world and start making friends.

Sadly, for poor old Rumpelstiltskin, the world does not feel the same. No one really talks to him and some people are actually a little bit mean...

Princess Bunnyflops, meanwhile, has lots of friends and everyone thinks she is great - with her big fluffy tail and sparkly eyes.

Rumplestiltskin want to be friends with Princess - he tries his best, but she doesn’t even know his name!

Join Rumpelstiltskin as he finds his way in the world, with songs, jokes and lots of heart.

Come along and find out if maybe, just maybe, Rumpelstiltkin won’t be alone for Christmas after all! 

Family friendly – for everyone over 5yrs. Get your tickets booked early - last year's show - Cinderella - was a sell out!

SOME KIND WORDS ON PAST CHRISTMAS SHOWS…

“Clever and original every year - love the Glasgow humour" - Cinderella audience member 

"This is an atmospheric, engaging fairy tale where gripping storytelling is at the front and centre of the production. Platform in Easterhouse is a true gem in the East End and the constant, consistently highly quality of their productions deserve to be seen by as wide an audience as possible, Sleeping Beauty is no exception." Glasgow Theatre Blog (Sleeping Beauty)

“My favourite part was all of it!” P4 pupil from Aultmore Park Primary (Sleeping Beauty)

“Utterly inspired and uplifting theatre… tender, witty and adorable” ***** Mary Brennan, The Herald

“It’s a sweet, clever show, ideal for stepping away from the mainstream Christmas madness.”****Lauren Mayberry, The List

“The kids loved it – they laughed and took part in the show. It was great!” Ashley, nursery teacher

"It was fantastic - such a brilliant retelling of a well known story" - Cinderella audience member
