Sunday 19th December
In the Library of Killruddery House
Presenting: THE PAPER PRINCESS by Monkeyshine Theatre
A Paper Princess is based on a book by Elisa Klevin. You are invited to a Christmas party! A tiny theatre, a magical story, a little Girl whisked away by a gust of wind into a beautiful world made of paper, lit by tiny theatre lights and accompanied by live music and sound-scapes.
This Christmas party will begin in our Studio. Children will be encouraged to make their very own sparkling paper prince or princess, which will later be incorporated into the story. From there, a (not too long) musical trail will lead them through the gardens and into the Library, to the toy theatre.
This is an enchanting theatre experience for children of 3 yrs and up.
Times: Starting at 2pm and again at 4pm
Duration approximately 40 min
Tickets cost €10.

A special Killruddery Christmas Cafe will be open in the Orangery making up for the cold by serving hot soup, venison stew, mulled drinks, steaming puddings and lovely cakes.
