The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a beloved tale of a pilot and a young alien prince that has delighted readers since it was first published in 1943. It has since been translated into more than 250 languages. Even if you know The Little Prince (or Le Petit Prince in its original French) by heart, you have never seen it quite like this!
This 60-minute mini-musical features original music by Wessel Odendaal, under the pen and direction of Elizma Badenhorst. Exupéry illustrated his novel himself and chose to omit any sketches of what the pilot may have looked like. Badenhorst takes her cue from the author and presents the first female pilot in this iconic role.
