This surprisingly queer and delicately physical re-telling interweaves material from Saint Exupery’s well-loved novella The Little Prince with his writings on travel and war, and takes inspiration from the life of pilot Amelia Earhart.

Although The Little Prince is often framed as a children’s piece, our versionis for adults, and the children they remember themselves to be.

A scratch performance of the show, including post-show discussion and qualitative questionnaires, was held at Queen Mary, University of London in June 2016.

The Little Prince is created by The Chekhov Collective, an ensemble of experienced and emerging artists, led by Cass Fleming, who have been training intensively together since 2013.
