‘All grown-ups were children once. But only few remember it.’

When a pilot crashes his plane in the Sahara Desert, he meets the little prince who has left his home, Asteroid B 612, on a journey across the universe to understand how to love a rose.

The Little Prince is a story about childhood, adults and the magical power of the imagination. It is also a story about art, drawing and creativity. This performance will be a rare and unique opportunity to watch the celebrated author and illustrator Chris Riddell, Children’s Laureate from 2015 – 2017 and illustrator of J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard, live-draw the story and re-interpret Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic images. See The Little Prince come alive and let your imagination join him on his intergalactic journey.

Celebrating its 75th anniversary, The Little Prince – this timeless tale of friendship and faith – has become one of the best-loved and most widely translated books ever, equally loved by children and adults the world over.

A few lucky audience members will receive some of the original drawings at the end of the show.

Suitable for children aged 7+.
