Event description

There is the fairytale you know and love. But what isn’t known, what no book has ever recorded, is why exactly the princess was out in the middle of a storm, in the middle of a night, at the end of an adventure. This story is that story.

In a clever reimagining of this much-loved fairytale, this stunning production featuring live classical music performed by ACO musicians will tell the story of a princess who dreams of escape… and how she ended up on a prince’s doorstep in the rain.

- Audio described performance will be available on Saturday 17 May at 11.30am.

- This venue is wheelchair accessible.

- Just watch - this activity asks for the audience to sit-back, relax, and enjoy the show unfolding in front of them (with little or no audience participation).

- This show takes place in a traditional theatre setting, with low levels of lighting in the
auditorium. However, a relaxed attitude is taken to noise and movement from within the
audience.

- The performance includes live music by a chamber orchestra on stage, and a singular performer
acting as a narrator. The performance involves some shadow puppetry but is well suited to
audio description.
