Freedom,
Books, Flowers and The Moon is a play by Sarah Pitard based on and adapted from The Nightingale, the Rose
and The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde.
The story shows how in Germany,
during 1938, the gypsy population suffered greatly under the Nazi Regime
In the first act, Florica, a
young Gypsy woman, is desperately in love with Besnik. However, he is in love
with a German girl, Helen, who asks for one gift – the most beautiful rose in
the world.
Despite the warnings from her
brother, Thomas, Florica makes it her goal to find the perfect rose for her
love, even if it means she must suffer the consequences.
The second act centres around an
old German man, Mr Prin, confined to his wheelchair, and a young gypsy child,
Isabella, who is dying from tuberculosis.
Together, the pair go on a mission to help as many people as possible from
being taken to concentration camps.
The show explores the true meaning of undying love.
Paradigm Theatre Company are currently staging a wonderful
version of this show at Waterloo East Theatre in London.
Admiral Costumes are delighted to have provided some
costumes for this beautiful story
