“Little Princess Arabella” is a play for children; it’s about a rather spoiled princess who insists on getting an elephant for her birthday.
Her parents decide to give her an elephant – as I said she is quite spoiled – or to be exact, they decide to give her the experience of having an elephant.
This afternoon my godson’s mother invited me to see this play in the Amsterdam public library with her and her son.
I enjoyed the show, but my godson was more critical. He was afraid of the elephant.
I remembered that as a kid actors used to scare me away. Even Santa Claus was above all a frightening man.
According to my godson he was just not too happy with the quality of today’s play, although he liked the music.
