The Light Princess

Adapted from the George MacDonald fairy tale, this theatre for young audiences is perfect for touring, and a lesson in empathy and the importance not only of laughter, but of sorrow.

PRINCESS.
(Trying to rise again.)
Ugh!  And this, I suppose, is your wretched gravity?

PRINCE.
(Sweeping her into his arms.)
No.  No, Princess.  This is Light.
