Following a hugely successful run in 2019, The Ark presents a tale for ages 8 and up about magic, music, and hair by Wayne Jordan & Tom Lane.

In an Ireland just like ours, well almost, The Haircut is a fresh take on the old Irish fairytale of Labhraidh Loingseach,remixed and retold for ages 8 + accompanied by a vibrant and exciting live score. The King has a secret. He wears his hair long. Once a year he cuts it, on the same night, in the same place, in the same style – but never by the same barber! The Haircut is a musical tale about secrets, creativity and being who you really are!
