A Little Princess

Theatre N16, Balham 

3rd-7th July 2016

7pm

Sara Crewe has everything; brains, money, friends, a loving father and a kind heart. At Miss Minchin’s Seminary for Girls, she seems to be the most popular student the school has ever had, among both staff and students; excelling at all lessons and befriending everyone in the school from her fellow pupils to Becky, the scullery-maid. In short – she is a little princess. But when her father dies of jungle fever and Sara is left a penniless orphan, she discovers who her real friends are as she becomes a “maid of all work,” and is cruelly abused at the school she once called a home.

A tale of friendship, poverty, neglect and love, our adaptation of A Little Princess portrays the darkest elements of the novel whilst exploring the power of hope behind a story that has become such a national treasure.

Our adaptation will feature a live band, original score  and beautiful new vocal arrangements, with a focus on producing an accessible and evocative new take on a timeless classic.
