French classic comes to Durban

Public performances start on 2 November.

AN ADAPTATION of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic French fable, The Little Prince comes to Durban’s DUT Courtyard Theatre from 1 to 3 November as part of an extensive national tour honouring the story’s 75th anniversary.

Presented by Alliance Francaise de Durba, and directed by Clara Vaughan and Mwenya B Kabwe, The Little Prince will be a magical re-telling of the story using an innovative and playful fusion of art forms – storytelling, music and circus – in multiple languages, creating a unique South African inspired production of this French masterpiece, for adults and children alike.

Originally written in French, The Little Prince is the world’s most translated book, outside of religious works.
