Join 12-year-old Refilwe, her aunty Agnus and their new friend Tumi this December, as they use dance moves, riddles and magic hair to escape the British Museum after closing time.
Inspired by Zukiswa Wanner’s southern African retelling of the classic fairy-tale Rapunzel, Refilwe is a family adventure about home, hair and connecting with your roots, for audiences aged seven and older, with all performances presented in a relaxed environment.
National Youth Theatre, Bernie Grant Arts Centre and Talawa Theatre Company present a bold and brilliant new show and new take on Rapunzel for younger audiences by Bisola Alabi. Directed with playfulness and energy by the Artistic Director of Bernie Grant Arts Centre Azieb Pool and starring some of Britain’s best young talent from the National Youth Theatre.
