The Little Prince adaptation premieres at Omnibus

Omnibus Theatre's artistic director, Marie McCarthy, will be at the directorial helm of the premiere of a new stage adaptation of The Little Prince this festive season.

Playing at Omnibus from 4 to 30 December, the show is written by critically-acclaimed storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's original novella (first published in 1943) has sold more than 150 million copies world-wide and been translated into over 300 languages - one of the most translated books ever published.

Following Omnibus Theatre's award-winning success in crafting beautiful winter shows for all ages (Offie-winner 2018 for Zeraffa Giraffa) The Little Prince promises a brilliant blend of enchanting storytelling, puppetry, projections and music.

Omnibus Theatre's Artistic Director Marie McCarthy commented ...

"We are really thrilled to be staging this cherished story that has such enduring appeal.

It speaks on many different levels in ways that both adults and children can relate to.

There are iconic images and magical elements in this production and my hope is that audiences will be taken on an emotional journey with the little prince and discover the beauty of friendship."
