CHILDREN’S book The Little Prince will bring the Kingston Arts stage to life next month.
Presented by Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, The Little Prince is sure to delight the young and young-at-heart.
Adapted from one of the most widely read books in history with over 140 million copies sold worldwide in more than 250 languages, The Little Prince tells the story of a curious prince who leaves his tiny planet and journeys across the universe, discovering that adults have very strange ideas about the things that really matter.
Exquisitely hand-carved puppets bring the Little Prince, Rose, the Fox and the charming Snake, to life.
Spare Parts associate director Michael Barlow said The Little Prince reminds us of the magic of imagination.
“The work speaks strongly about what really matters in life: It isn’t the expensive or flashy things that have the greatest value, it’s the people we form relationships with,” he said.
Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the production was a fine opportunity for parents to introduce their children to the world of theatre.
“I encourage schools, parents and grandparents to come along to this beautiful production that will engage and inspire our young people,” she said.
The Little Prince is suitable for children aged four-plus. It is on 10am and 1pm, Thursday 9 June, at Kingston City Hall, 985 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin Junction.
Tickets: $18 each or $12 for groups four-plus, with teachers free.
Bookings: 9556 4440 or kingstonarts.com.au
