Absolutely amazing! Performed with such enthusiasm. Great script. Fantastic that the kids get this opportunity. The set and the way they used it was really creative. My favourite character was the jailor, I thought their acting was superb. Fantastic all round, what's not to like!
Rumpelstiltskin at the Wyeside.
What a treat this show was. Things I particularly loved: The set was AMAZING, as was the music, which I found out afterwards was played on the inside of a piano - ingenious. It was great to see so many young people finding their voices acting so strongly. The play was really absorbing and fun for all ages and I really cannot fault it.
Rumpelstiltskin by MPYT at Wyeside on Nov.5th 2026.
I was expecting fireworks and we got them. A simply wonderful piece of theatre, sparkling and effervescent. The script by Ralph Bolland wove a magical mix of myth and fairytale into our modern world; the obsession of individual wealth alongside poverty, individual power over other people’s lives; the choice between truth and lies. Powerful repetitive elements of plot and character developed and propelled the story forward.
Simple but so effective staging: two connected open walls that could be smoothly revolved creating prison, palace, meeting room for Bad Dads, village space as well as a spinning vortex for moments of magic change.
The costumes dazzling and fairytale-drab combined with some great hairpieces and white face clown makeup made it a visual feast.
The Performance! These young players held you in the palms of their hands and never let you go. Tight, funny, poignant, moving, with superb nuanced individual characterisation as well as lock-step group action and dialogue. A truly gripping performance from beginning to end (it played fo 75 minutes without a break), scenes connected by live-action music and pre-recorded tracks in a style that perfectly suited the play. Often the foolish jailer with yukele would start a sequence live which would be taken up by a short pre-record or into dramatic live percussion sequences featuring ominous knocking and strong resonant open strings. Not to forget the delightfully choreographed troubadours, dance and company songs. Word-perfect special effects and lighting completed this absolutely professional and beguiling performance. Huge congratulations to all cast and crew.

Diolch yn fawr iawn Simon! We're so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you or taking the time to write such a beautiful review. It's worth noting that all the music was in fact live, and all performed by the young people - many of whom had never picked up a musical instrument before this show. We'll take it as a compliment to them (and our wonderful Musical Director, Jim Elliott) that it sounded pre-recorded! A collection of weird and wonderful instruments such as a piano frame, accordion, bells, drums, kazoos and more created the wonderful live soundscape you heard!
