Don’t miss the return season of this imaginative theatrical production brought to life on stage with live music performed by an ACO string quartet. Audiences of all ages will delight in this enchanting story of bravery, courage, and friendship.

Isabella was born with everything. Daughter of the grandest king, surrounded by the greatest wealth, held in the highest castle. Her life was big, bold and brash, but Isabella notices the small, beautiful things… from the way frogs hold their breath in the pond, to how sand feels between her toes at the beach. Her life is easy, but Isabella is not content, and dreams of escaping palace life.

One day, in the midst of a storm, when everyone is looking elsewhere, she finds her chance. With all the courage she can muster, she sets out to uncover the magic the world holds. Her amazing super senses guide her on a journey filled with daring feats and surprising friendships.

This stunning theatrical production is perfect for audiences of all ages who need a reminder that they can be brave, even if they feel scared of the unknown.

Written by award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer (Magic Beach, Are We There Yet?), with an original score by Bryony Marks (Barracuda, Summer Heights High), and directed by Tim McGarry (There’s a Sea in My Bedroom, Boy Swallows Universe), The Princess, The Pea (and The Brave Escapee) is an exciting new ACO Families production that will ignite your imagination and heart.

Recommended for children aged 3-10 and their families. (Children under 2 years are free on a parent's lap).

The performance on Tuesday 15 July, 12pm is an ACO Relaxed Performance, with a dedicated quiet space. All are welcome to attend this performance, which will simply have a dedicated quiet space, and additional support for patrons with access needs.
