Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, this staged production of The Little Prince explores growing up, opening one's heart and discovering the true meaning of love. Travelling from planet to planet, the Little Prince encounters vanity, loneliness, ambition and absurdity – reflections of the adult world seen through a child's clear and questioning gaze. Each meeting brings him closer to a simple but profound truth: to care for someone is to accept responsibility for them. Through distance, wonder and longing, he learns that love is neither possession nor perfection.
