Shy, book-loving Bastian hides in an old bookshop and discovers a mysterious novel called The Neverending Story. As he reads, he is drawn into Fantastica – a magical world slowly being destroyed by a dark force called “The Nothing”.
A young warrior, Atreyu, sets out with his horse Artax and the luckdragon Falkor to save the Childlike Empress and their world. Bastian soon realizes he isn’t just reading the story – Fantastica needs his imagination and his courage to survive.
The National Theatre School brings this classic story to the stage of the Ludger-Duvernay Theatre in a play that will enchant audiences of all ages, celebrating the power of stories – and the young people who read them – to change the world.
Duration: Information coming soon.
