A real treat for children and adults alike, Sue Casson's highly acclaimed musical adaptation of The Happy Prince captures all the poignancy and charm of Oscar Wilde's short story. The tale of the gilded statue prince who, with the help of a migrating swallow, selflessly relieves the hardship of his townspeople is a classic fable, but also a very modern exploration of philanthropy, love, loss and the emptiness of wealth.
