Description

When Lilli Barnes was sixteen years old, she saw a fairy. Encouraged by her impressionable little cousin Mabel, Lilli snaps a photograph, and suddenly, what started as a magical game to distract from the worry of the Great War becomes a national sensation, attracting gullible authors, skeptical reporters, and eccentric spiritualists from all over the world. But swept up in the strangeness of their supernatural sighting, and daunted by the pressures of newfound fame, Lilli and Mabel are left to wonder if they can believe their eyes … or if the “magic” they’ve uncovered is merely imagination run wild. Based on historical events, this family-friendly show includes dancers from Ecclesia School of the Arts. Children are encouraged to dress as fairies, if they would like to.
