The Princess and the Goblin

"Seek that your sons and your daughters may dream dreams and see visions. Seek that they may see true visions and dream noble dreams!" George MacDonald's magical tale of young Princess Irene finding the strength to take on the world has proven to be one of the most enduring and influential of the great nineteenth century children's classics. Stuart Paterson's acclaimed stage version is packed with fun and adventure while retaining the depth and visionary power of the original book. Guarded day and night and made frightened of the sinister goblins who lurk under The Great Mountain Princess Irene fears she may never be brave enough to live outside the high walls of her father's palace. Yet guided by her mysterious old great-grandmother who lives in the attic and protected by a fearless miner-boy and a fierce young dragon she finds both freedom and romance. A rich and magical play for the whole family.
