Unlock the wonder of friendship and curiosity in The Little Prince, a timeless story that invites you to explore the world with fresh eyes.

Follow a curious prince on his wanderings across the universe as he meets some oddball grownups who think that power, money and celebrity matter more than love. On Earth he meets a cunning snake, a wild fox and an airman who has crashed his plane in the desert. With water in short supply, will they make it home again?

With humour, clever storytelling and beautifully crafted puppets The Little Prince will tickle your imagination and warm your soul with its enduring call to “see with your heart”.
