Prepare to be mesmerised as Monkey Baa’s multi award-winning production “The Peasant Prince” returns to the stage for a limited time.

In a poor village in northern China, Li, a 10-year-old boy is taken away from everything he knows and sent to a ballet academy in the big city. He is afraid, but his mother urges him to follow his dreams.

Based on the children’s version of Li Cunxin’s internationally best-selling memoir, “Mao’s Last Dancer”, this remarkable story of courage, resilience, and unwavering hope, will ignite your dreams and inspire you to be the best person you can be.
