A delightful new show, full of sparkle and song, plays at Z-arts on the first weekend of December, suitable for everyone aged 4 and up.

Can you help a very unusual princess solve an unexpected problem? Without the twinkle of fairy lights, the holiday season could be cancelled!  It’s up to our intrepid explorer, her pals and YOU to illuminate the world again.

Tutti Frutti Productions have teamed up with One Tenth Human (Curious Investigators) to create a fun-filled, sparkling extravaganza exploring the sensational science behind electricity.

Featuring catchy original songs from Ziad Jabero and electrifying storytelling, The Lightbulb Princess will light up children’s imaginations and inspire them to learn more about the world around them.

Researched with children and scientists in Morecambe Bay and Northumberland.

The Lightbulb Princess by Tutti Frutti and One Tenth Human.
