Synopsis

In this fun-for-all-ages retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm tale, Rapunzel Uncut reworks the story into a fairytale farce told by dueling narrators.

This short one-act comedy features a misunderstood witch, an off-pitch Rapunzel and an unimaginably stupid Prince.

Being stuck in a tower never got so many laughs.
