About the Play
This VMT original musical production is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett (author of The Secret Garden) published in 1915. The Lost Prince takes place in London and travels to the fictional land of Samavia, the native country of Marco Loristan and his father, Stefan. Marco, his father, and their friend, a street urchin named The Rat, have planned a secret mission that they hope will succeed in overthrowing the cruel dictator in the kingdom of Samavia and re-establish the rightful king. It's a story of secrets and discovery, an inspiring teacher, a beautiful but treacherous spy, music, song, and dance. But mostly, it's the story of a boy and his father who set out to find their true identity. To develop this story into a play, Don Wright created an original script based on Burnett's novel. Burlington's Bill Mullins composed all the original music, with lyrics written by Don Wright.
