THE HAPPY PRINCE

Performed by Michael James Ford with music by Trevor Knight
On Wednesday, November 13th at 8pm in the Scout Hut
Scout HQ 1 Farm Fields Sanderstead CR2 0HQ

The Happy Prince is perhaps the best-loved and most enduringly popular of all Oscar Wilde’s stories. It is the bittersweet tale of a gregarious swallow who befriends a melancholy statue while en route to Egypt and learns profound truths about the nature of love and suffering.

…a shimmering piece, bleak and heartbreaking as well as ultimately hopeful.

The performance is preceded by a short talk by Sam Ford – actor, tour guide and historian – on the controversial career of Oscar Wilde’s father, Sir William Wilde.

Sir William (1815 – 76) was a distinguished eye and ear surgeon and polymath, who published numerous works on medicine, archaeology and Irish folklore. However, he is probably best remembered today for his notorious private life and for a scandal which rocked Dublin society in the 1860’s.
