Details

Broken down in the Sahara Desert, in a race against time to repair her fighter jet, a pilot meets an extraordinary Little Prince. As he recounts his adventures, the pilot re-discovers the power of imagination, the importance of doing what we can to protect our natural world, and true meaning of friendship. Celebrating 80 years of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved story, the Tower Theatre bring this brand new adaptation to life through puppetry, movement and original music. It tells the story of an aviator who crash lands in the Sahara desert, where he meets the Little Prince, a planet-hopping innocent. Together they learn the secret of what really matters in life. A tale of loss, love, friendship, and growing up, The Little Prince transports us through the solar system as we encounter a host of outlandish characters. The joy and folly of humanity is laid bare through the eyes of a child, and the heart of the story is revealed through the taming of a wild fox.
