Southwick Players will start 2027 with Rapunzel at the Barn Theatre, running from 1 to 9 January. Amy Bowyer and Amanda Reeves direct Nick Lawrence’s pantomime.
The New Year dates make it an option for families who prefer a theatre visit after the rush of Christmas week.

What is the production?
Rapunzel wants to escape the tower where Gothel has kept her captive, while life in Quiffendale involves Dame Betty Beehive’s salon, Silly Billy’s hairdressing and a reluctant Prince Leo.
Fairy Stardust and Gothel’s henchmen Drip and Dribble join a story involving an enchanted forest and magical hair. The company describes a family pantomime, rather than a straight adaptation of the fairy tale.
