Wayward Productions and The Wardrobe Ensemble today announce the world stage première of Babette Cole’s award-winning book Princess Smartypants.
The production opens at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury in April, before touring to The Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol, Arts Depot, Finchley and the Lyric Studio, Hammersmith.
Adapted for the stage by The Wardrobe Ensemble, the production is the first time Wayward Productions have produced a piece of family theatre.
Princess Smartypants does not want to get married. She wants to carry on making music with her menagerie of monstrous pets, but the King and Queen have other ideas… Find out how Princess Smartypants fights to preserve her independence in this hilarious fairy-tale-with-a-difference. Full of songs and madcap comedy, Princess Smartypants is a treat for all the family.

The cast comprises Tom England, Jesse Meadows, Eva Redman and Alicia Vilanculo.
