Join The Mac this Christmas as they bring a little mischievous magic to the stage in their adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin – the classic Brothers Grimm tale with a typical, mystical MAC twist. Meet Emily, the heroine – brave, beautiful, witty, and smart. Be outraged by her father and the King who contrive an unusual and infamous bargain, and encounter the strange little man who can do the impossible… at a price. Family Christmas shows are becoming something of a tradition – live music, fun and spectacular action. Suitable for all ages, why not treat the whole family to Christmas at the MAC? Each child is different but we think those aged 5+ will get the biggest kick.
