Hull Truck's Christmas show for youngsters aged 3+ is Princess and the Frog, running in the Godber Studio 13–31 December 2023.
Princess Lily isn’t your average Princess. She’s a tree climbing, Dr Martens wearing, football loving Princess. As the night of the Castle’s annual Christmas ball arrives, she’s expected to brush her hair, keep herself clean, pop on a posh frock and most importantly… keep out of trouble!
As she tries to amuse herself in the Castle grounds, she befriends an unsuspecting frog. But there’s more to this frog than meets the eye, and Lily is about to witness a true Christmas miracle unfold right before her very eyes.
Lily will be played by Petra Joan Athene, a recent graduate from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, alongside Lancashire actor Jason Connor, who will perform Frog.
Tom Saunders, Associate Director at Hull Truck Theatre, said, “the production is going to be full of songs with opportunities for the children in the audience to join in, and also lots of magic!”
