‘One sees clearly only with the heart.

What is essential is invisible to the

eye.’

lone pilot struggles to repair his craft

efforts are interrupted by the arrival

of the Little Prince, a visitor from

another planet with a unique

perspective on … well, pretty much

everything! Antoine de

Saint-Exupery’s enduring fable about

rediscovered innocence poignantly

profound and idealistic observations

about life, love and human nature.

The Merchant of Venice

Directed by David Vann

Mon 13 – Fri 24 June

The Merchant of Venice deals

with issues of young love, parental

control and racial prejudice.

We are offering an abridged

students will have the chance to

explore these issues further in a

workshop session with the cast.

While no prior knowledge of the

play is required, it would be

useful for the group to familiar

with the plot before seeing this

workshop production.
