The Little Prince Enchants Young and Old Alike

The play the The Little Prince has been adapted from Antoine de Saint Exupery’s beloved story of an aviator that has crashed in the desert and a little prince that is able to teach him to think like a child again.   The enduring popularity of The Little Prince is owed to its transcendence of time and borders. It was inspired by the author’s passionate belief that humankind, while becoming ever more interconnected and interdependent through the miracles of modern technology, needed desperately to reidentify its soul. And years later his warnings ring truer than ever. The play should encourage you to use your imagination, think like a child again, and remember the fox’s secret— “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
