Audience and Press Reactions:
"I don’t know who enjoyed the show more - me or the children. It was wonderful theatre. Really imaginative. Both children were entranced." - A grown-up with children (8 & 10 years old)
"Simply magical. My four year old sat spellbound with his mouth hanging open for the whole show!" - a grown-up audience member
"I loved it and I want to come again. My favourite was the man who says good morning and good evening" - A blind 15 year-old
"The use of light, movement and sound worked together to engage the audience's senses in a way that made us forget the limits of the space and the cast, to the point where I began questioning if the cast had cloned itself and the space had somehow magically extended." - Clara Goilav, STRAND Magazine Full review
Chilled Performances:
All matinee performances of The Little Prince will be chilled performances. This means there will be a casual approach to movement and noise but the performance itself remains unchanged. These performances are perfect for people who like to move around, make noise or come and go during the performance.
