Half term theatre: A Wilde Wedding

Help the Palace Courtiers save the Royal Wedding in this playful Oscar Wilde inspired adventure.

The Palace Courtiers have a royal wedding to organise, but with a Selfish Giant guarding the garden, a lacklustre Happy Prince and some very soggy fireworks, things aren’t going to plan!

Can you help save the royal wedding?

The Palace Courtiers have been given a very important task: organising the Royal Wedding. There’s just one problem. Everything seems to be going wrong!

The Selfish Giant won’t let anyone into his garden, where the wedding is supposed to take place. The Happy Prince’s statue is looking a little lacklustre and the fireworks are all wet. With the big day fast approaching, the Courtiers need your help.

Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s much-loved stories The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince and The Remarkable Rocket, this playful theatre experience brings these classic tales to life through storytelling, imagination and plenty of audience participation.

Can you help the Courtiers get everything ready in time for the big day?
