Der kleine Lord - Theater Ex Libris

New York City, 1872. Young Cedric has no idea how to break the news to his friends: he, a perfectly ordinary American boy, is supposed to move into his grandfather's castle - and one day become an English earl! His friends, for their part, have little time for kings and lords.

When Cedric arrives in England with his mother, the welcome is anything but warm. His grandfather, the old Earl of Dorincourt, is cold and unapproachable. Just as the little lord manages to win the old man over, a letter throws everything into doubt: is Cedric actually the earl's heir at all?

Theater ex libris presents this story as a live radio play, exploring what sets the original novel apart from the famous 1980 film adaptation, with Christmas music setting the mood. A cast of remarkably versatile performers, live music, and carefully chosen images matched to the story - that is the formula with which Theater ex libris brings literature to the stage as live audio theatre.
