“Rapunzel was the most beautiful child in the world. When she was twelve years old the witch shut her up in a tower in the midst of a wood and it had neither steps nor door, only a small window above.”

Stories of mother and stepmothers, the perils of having long hair and how to control your happy ever after… The Grimm Brother’s fairytale is reimagined three ways for the 21st century, telling tales of girls who find themselves trapped, sometimes in towers of their own creation.
