Lang leve de Koningin

Sara often feels lonely. No matter how hard she tries, things at school are not going well enough.

Her mother is always working and… Nobody wants to talk to her about her father, whom she has never met. When her best friend teaches Sara to play chess, something changes.

At first, chess seems like just a fun game, but… the longer Sara plays, the more the game comes to life. The chess pieces speak to her and take her to a royal palace full of extraordinary characters. Sara meets the White Queen, the Lady-in-Waiting and many others. But there are also problems in this beautiful palace… The White King threatens to start a war!

The White Queen wants to prevent that and devises a plan. She needs Sara’s help with it.

During her adventures at court, Sara grows. She not only learns to play chess better, but also to stand up for herself and trust in her own strength. Even at school, they can no longer ignore it: Sara is a talent, she plays chess really well! Better than anyone had expecte

Long Live the Queen is a warm, funny and headstrong family show about friendship, courage and discovering who you are. Inspired by the film Long Live the Queen (1995) by Esmé Lammers. Now as an open-air theatre performance by Theatre Group Mariahout.
