The Prince and the Pauper



This morning our family went to the library for a production of the Prince and the Pauper by the Hampstead Stage Company. It was a wonderful play! I was amazed that the whole thing was done by two actors. This was Alex’s first play and he really enjoyed it. Both kids did much better than we thought they would.

After the performance there was time for questions. Alex started a trend when he asked about the swords. (Several other kids asked about them following Alex’s question.) We asked if we could get a picture of Alex with the cast. When asked which costume he wanted them in Alex replied, “A Knight.” We had to rephrase the question, “Which character from the play would you like?”

If you get a chance to see this or another play by the Hampstead Stage Company I would heartily recommend it.
