THE YOUNG KING

THE YOUNG KING by Slingsby | Australia 

For Ages 8+
70 mins 

17 - 23 November 2021

What kind of King would you be? A naïve boy raised by goatherds is discovered to be heir to the kingdom.

​Treasures and privileges are laid at his feet, but at what cost to others?

The achingly beautiful and tender language of Oscar Wilde joins the intimate and magical world of Slingsby. Journey in wonder, to a land of challenging choices and rich rewards.

The Young King by Oscar Wilde, adapted for the stage by Nicki Bloom.
