It is adapted from Helena Nyblom’s Scandinavian children’s adventure by Laura Jayne Ayres. Through dance, song and exciting physical theatre, it follows the heroine on her journey to find her true place in the world. She meets grouchy farmers, a flock of flamenco-dancing pigeons and finally a handsome prince – but is the life of a princess something our little maid truly wants? And will she still be allowed to dance? It is suitable for all ages.

Four actors – Louis Roberts, Steven Blackshaw, Tori Klays and Alice Byrne – will take the show on the road with stage manager Stuart Hanrahan.
