In Bad Neighbour Theatre's re-telling of Saint-Exupéry's classic, the Pilot wakes up on the streets of modern-day New York, his memory a blank. There he encounters the Little Prince, a grownup with the soul of a child, and together the two embark on a journey around the metropolis.
"I very much wanted to stage The Little Prince in the city where, in 1943, he was created" says director Vyacheslav Firsov.
"The face of the city has changed since then, the buildings have become taller. People wear different clothes. But on the level of emotion, feeling, memory, nothing has changed. 'Anything essential is invisible to the eyes', says the fox. When I read The Little Prince for the first time as a child, that phrase in particular stuck with me. Now I am delighted to be able to introduce other children to this story."
For one night only - a staging for adults and children, in Franco-Russian with English subtitles.
