A joyful re-imagining of a classic fairytale
A modern electronic musical theatre reimagining of The Light Princess, featuring an upbeat electronic score, innovative technical wizardry, gorgeous puppetry, bears and TURNIPS! All without an evil sorceress lurking in the woods – because our heroine just is who she is, and maybe she doesn’t need to change to fit in, maybe the world needs to change instead. A kiss from a prince isn't going to cut it this time.
The Light Princess explores friendship, creativity, and the social model of disability. Led by a cast of disabled and non-disabled actors the show features creative captions, integrated audio description throughout and several integrated BSL performances.
The Princess floats. She always has. The Queen worries about keeping her little girl’s feet on the ground, but all the Princess wants is to fly free. When the Princess meets inventor Orla, the two recognise a spark in one another – the unstoppable desire for change. Together they melt the heart of the frozen kingdom.
Set in a snowy winter landscape, LAStheatre‘s The Light Princess is the perfect Christmas treat for all the family and gently explores individuality, friendship, creativity, and the social model of disability.
