This Christmas, award-winning Metta Theatre are proud to present their brand-new circus musical extravaganza, The Little Prince.

A WW2 pilot has crashed in the middle of the Sahara. If she doesn’t find water soon she’ll die. But instead of water she finds a mysterious child - the Little Prince whose imaginative adventures and tales of far off planets quench a deeper thirst.

Based on the much-loved story by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and complete with spectacular circus and packed full of enchanting original songs, this uplifting tale of love and friendship is the perfect family treat this festive season.
