Starbright Entertainments have teamed up with Motherwell Theatre again to bring you a brand new Easter pantomime adventure – RUMPELSTILTSKIN. Dame Morag the Miller loves to boast to anyone that will listen about her daughter Mira – even if she sometimes stretches the truth! Unfortunately, when she tells the greedy King that her daughter can spin straw into gold, Mira is locked up in the castle tower until she can prove it. Lucky for her, a mysterious man appears one night who can help, but the more he helps the higher the cost! Who else does the mysterious man have deals with? Will Merlin the Wizard help Artie find his inner hero to save Mira in time? Will Dame Morag ever find a man? It’s all the usual fun of Motherwell’s Easter Panto, relocated to Airdrie Town Hall.
