Let's Pretend

Rapunzel

English · Dramatic Readings, Legends & Fairy Tales, Children's Fiction

Let's Pretend is a children’s radio series that brings fairy tales and classic stories to life through dramatic performances. This recording presents “Rapunzel,” the familiar tale of a girl kept in a tower, whose long hair becomes a means of connection with the world beyond her confinement.

The program’s storytelling is built around voices and sound rather than a narrator simply recounting the tale. Actors perform the characters, with dialogue and radio effects helping listeners follow the action and imagine the story’s settings. Its fairy-tale material offers a mix of wonder, danger, and adventure suited to family listening.

With its theatrical approach and focus on well-known stories, Let's Pretend makes the imagination central to the experience. “Rapunzel” offers a chance to hear a classic tale unfold as a radio play, carried by performance and the listener’s own mental pictures.
