Hair's to a good show
Chop, chop, get down to Bedford for some puppet theatre
This is what the world would have got had Jim Henderson and Nikki Clarke ever worked on a production together - a puppet show about hair.
Award-winning puppetry company Theatre of Widdershins brings Rapunzel and the Tower of Doom to Bedford this weekend.
This enchanting show promises plenty of body, volume and loads of highlights in a fresh, modern take on a classic fairytale.
With a clever balance of visual magic, verbal puns and sparkling, energetic stage presence, solo performer Andy Lawrence retells the story of poor Rapunzel, locked in a tower and suffering from the worst of bad hair days.
Widdershins are a Beds-based puppet theatre company, which has been bringing highly visual and innovative puppetry to schools and community halls nationwide for more than 14 years.
They have taken four of their shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2006-09) and gained five-star reviews for all of them.
Boasting an original soundtrack and hand-made set and puppets, the 55-minute tangled tale is a treat for children and big kids, who still miss their daily fix of Sesame Street, alike.
Plus as there is a recession on tickets only cost 7, concessions 5.
So get down to the University Of Bedfordshire's theatre on the Polhill Campus this Sunday (October 11) at 2.30pm for this hair-raising tale - chop, chop.
