Young performers are preparing to bring Rumpelstiltskin to the Wyeside Arts Centre in Builth Wells this November.

MPYT will stage the play by Ralph Bolland from Wednesday, November 4 to Saturday, November 7, following its return to Wyeside last year with The Curious Incident of the Dog....

Directed by Ralph Bolland and Melody Watson, the production promises what MPYT describes as its theatrical hallmarks, including ensemble movement, comedy, original music and distinctive design.

The company describes the new show as "soaring family fun, made in Powys - from teenagers".

Last year's production drew positive responses from audience members, with one describing the show as displaying "astonishing talent, direction and ensemble cooperation".

Another said: "MPYT shows are fabulously entertaining. Love it. It's such an amazing balance of professionalism and a nurturing environment, building confidence in young people."

A parent also praised the production for holding the attention of their teenage daughter throughout the performance, saying encouraging more teenagers into the arts and creative interaction was "vitally important right now".

Rumpelstiltskin will be performed at 7.30pm from Wednesday, November 4 to Saturday, November 7, with a 2pm matinee on Saturday.

Evening tickets are £15 or £12, while matinee tickets are £10.

A family ticket for two adults and two under-16s costs £45 for evening performances.

Tickets are available through Wyeside's online box office.
