Our next production is a new adaptation of the timeless children's story A Little Princess. by Frances Hodgson Burnett who's other books include The Secret Garden.

 

Set in 1905 it tells the story of Sara Crewe, a loved little girl who has spirit, imagination and strength of character.

 

Born in India to loving parents she soon loses her mother and becomes the centre of her father's world.  He, like many parents of the time, thinks that an English boarding school is the best thing for her and brings her to London and into the hands of Miss Minchin, a cruel headmistress..

​

He unwillingly leaves after instructing the avaricious Miss Minchin that Sara should have everything she desires. And for a while Sara is the undoubted princess of the school, with all the admiration and envy that brings.

 

Then tragedy strikes and Sara must discover what it means to have character when life deals you a bitter blow.
