The Saddest Princess on Planet No. 4: The Staged Reading
“The Saddest Princess on Planet No. 4: The Staged Reading” is a stage reading adapted from youth literature “The Saddest Princess” by Binlah Sonkalagiri, recipient of the S.E.A Write Award (South East Asian Writers Award) in 2002. This theatrical piece takes the form of a stage reading, where actors need not adorn costumes or intricate sets. They simply hold the script and move within the space, reading their lines with fresh, genuine emotions. Moreover, it’s an experimental theatrical blend, merging the art of storytelling, theater, and film with live musical performances. Following this performance, the narrative of “The Saddest Princess” will also be adapted into a film in the near future.
The performance has a total duration of 120 minutes, divided into 8 sessions on the 4th, 5th, 11th and 12th of November 2023. Screening at 1.00 PM and 6.00 PM at RCB Forum on the 2nd floor of River City Bangkok. In addition, the concept art and storyboard for the “Saddest Princess on Planet No. 4” project will be displayed in front of the RCB Forum from 2 – 12 November 2023.
