A half-day theatre -in-education programme for Reception and Year 1 children.

"In a certain kingdom once lived a poor miller who had a very beautiful daughter. She was moreover exceedingly shrewd and clever, and the miller was so vain and proud of her that he one day told the king of the land that his daughter could spin gold out of straw..."

And so begins a chain of events where a father has to give up his own daughter who will, in turn, be asked one day to give up her own, as yet unborn, child.

But who or what is Rumpel-stilts-kin? What does he want with the baby? What are the consequences of bartering with a child's life?
