About the Show
An Egyptian Prince is doomed to die by Snake, Dog, or Crocodile! Can he escape his cursed fate?
Performed at schools around Edmonton, the Thousand Faces Festival, AND Edmonton’s Green Shack Program, Theatre Prospero’s actors lead students as they play all the parts in an epic Egyptian story and resolve the millenia-old cliffhanger. Engaging and quirky, the narrators will guide student dialogue and action, creating an accessible and entertaining experience!
