Will Rapunzel ever see beyond the tower and be reunited with her Mother having been snatched away from her so many years ago?

Glittering with comedy and magical hair, this is a fairytale not to be missed.

Taking on the role of Rapunzel is Eimer Irvine.

Eimer is no stranger to The Alternative Medicine Theatre having joined in 2008 at the age of 10.

Audience members may know her as the Fairy of the panto over the past few years but she is very excited to be playing the leading lady for the first time this year in Rapunzel.
