The Happy Prince – Premiere

Lilliput Company of Szigligeti Theatre presents its newest premiere, The Happy Prince, on Saturday, 3 March, at 11 AM, in the big room of Arcadia Theatre.

The show is recommended for children aged 6 and over. Adapted to the stage based on the tale by Oscar Wilde and directed by László Vadas.

The Happy Prince is probably one of the most beautiful and most emotional tales of all time. The meaning of self-sacrifice that comes from love is subject to research to this day. Some say it is not a “normal” human reaction, whereas according to others, it is the highest level of “empathy”. It is obviously pretty difficult to accept, it’s much easier to just watch from the outside, with an adequate level of emotion, because as an adult, it’s difficult to understand. That's because an adult thinks, ponders, counts, sometimes even forgetting instinctual and honest reactions. Adults forget that they were ever children. The moral message of the story is “normal” for children, but unsettling for grown-ups.

With: Birtalan Katalin, Németi Emese, Stéfán Bodor Mária, Szentpéteri Lenke, Csepei Róbert, Hanyecz Debelka Róbert, Lélek Sándor Tibor

Seats for the premiere can be booked at the theatre's booking office, open Monday to Friday 2—7 PM, or one hour before the start of the shows.
