Rapunzel

Annie Siddons

After a happy childhood picking herbs, making potions, healing the sick and helping the local villagers, Rapunzel grows into a beautiful young woman – and suddenly finds herself locked in a tower. But this is Rapunzel as you’ve never seen her before – tough, sassy, a survivor, a lover, a fighter – and life has a whole lot more in store for her yet… Set in Italy, the home of this ancient folk tale, Rapunzel is a lively, funny, passionate story of abandonment and loyalty, love and betrayal, complete with mafia bosses, magic bushes, evil princes and a wonderfully helpful pig.

Raymondo

Annie Siddons

Raymondo and his brother Sparky have been locked in the cellar underneath their house for six years. An accident involving a pigeon enables their escape. But do the brothers have the requisite skills to survive a haphazard and cruel world? Raymondo is a story of brotherhood, loss, incarceration, escape, survival, desire, art and resilience. It is a story about the shittiness of others, the kindness of others and Love. Simply told by a woman with a microphone and an atmospheric live score of guitars, loops and keyboard, Raymondo is a raw, dark, funny and tender lyrical narrative that will sear through your defences straight to your heart.
