The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde and performed by Michael James Ford

Produced and performed by acclaimed Irish actor Michael James Ford, ‘The Happy Prince’, thought to have been inspired by Wilde's view of Cole's Monument during his time at Portora Royal School in Enniskillen, tells the tale of a gregarious swallow who befriends a melancholy statue while en route to Egypt. The bird helps the Prince alleviate the suffering of his poor citizens and in doing so learns profound truths about the nature of love and suffering.

Performed exactly a week before Oscar Wilde’s birthday, this two part show sees ‘The Happy Prince’ paired with a new production of  'The Selfish Giant', Wilde’s delightful exploration of selfishness, love and redemption. 

Irish actor, Michael James Ford co-stars with well-known actress Bairbre Ní Chaoimh, along with three enchanting puppet children created by Martin ‘Gepetto’ Cahill. The production will be accompanied by live music and arranged and performed in a haunting new score by Philip Dodd.

Suitable for children aged 6 upwards. 

Paper swallows made in association with Arts Over Borders, by children from primary schools across Enniskillen, will be on display in the venue during the event.
