The Light Princess
National Theatre
The Light Princess is a dark fairytale about grief, rebellion and the power of love. Once, in opposing kingdoms lived a princess and a prince who had lost their mothers. Althea, unable to cry, became light with grief and floated, and so was locked away. Digby became so heavy-hearted that he could never smile, and so was trained as a warrior. Through the story they meet each other, confront their grief and form a new kingdom. This collection includes a short film on fairy tales and an interview with Professor Bill Gray on the original story of The Light Princess and its author George MacDonald.
