The version of RUMPELSTILTSKIN currently being presented at Imagination Stage, in Bethesda, Maryland, is a grim Grimm fairy tale. The production is brilliantly executed, but the script is so dark that it may not be appropriate for younger children.

"This is a story that's old as old, of how a girl turned straw into gold," and one that the audiences at Imagination Stage are sure to know! Directed by Janet Stanford and written by Mike Kenny, Rumpelstiltskin is a unique interpretation of a fairytale in which the characters discover their true place in the world, complete with witty poetry, exquisite movement, and original music performed live by a fiddle player.
