The true and original story of Rumpelstiltskin. - 'What the Rattler has wind of - will always blow ill, - For the Rattler will take - what the Rattler will.' Every year in Hobsmoor, the villagers gather to hear the ancient story of the Rattler. A cautionary tale following a poor weaver's daughter and a disillusioned crowned Prince, who both dream of something different from their predestined paths in life. When the Rattler learns of their desires, he begins manipulating them for his own gain. It's never too young to introduce children and the family to the magical qualities of opera. The Rattler is a new music theatre piece created by Mahogany to welcome children to the fantastical mix of lively music, dance, engrossing storytelling, puppetry and crafts.
