The Young King
Step inside the court of The Young King, as one of Oscar Wilde's best-kept-secret stories unfurls around you at TRECC with performances still available on 18, 19 and 20 July (two shows daily 10am and 1pm).
Brought from page to stage by Adelaide-based theatre company Slingsby, The Young Kingis a magical tale told through an immaculate union of whimsical theatre and audience participation. Children and adults alike will love this interactive production of great beauty, innocence and warmth.
First published in Wilde's A House of Pomegranates, The Young King tells the story of a boy born to a princess and a poor woodland man. Snatched from his parents as a baby, the Young King is raised by a kindly goatherd in a deep forest, until one day he is discovered to be heir to the kingdom.
Adapted by award-winning playwright Nicki Bloom and directed by Slingsby Artistic Director Andy Packer, this must-see piece of immersive theatre is a fun show for the young and young at heart.
As soon as audiences enter the theatre, they will be thrust into the ethereal world of the Young King, and the surprises continue to the end of the show.
Mr Packer said the company was thrilled to bring one of Wilde's lesser-known masterpieces to new audiences.
"In his tale The Young King, Oscar Wilde employs his trademark alluringly ornate language to draw us into a story that forces us to confront our notions of beauty, leadership and compassion," said Mr Packer.
