Synopsis

This is a story about a young boy who doesnt want to be King. What he wants, more than anything, is to be normal. So one night, he runs away from the palace. He climbs out of his four-poster bed, disappears through a hidden door in the ceiling, creeps down a long-forgotten passageway, opens a small window and leaves behind everything hes ever known. At first, the world outside the palace seems a magical place that the King delights in exploring. But with no friends to call on, no money in his pocket, in fact nothing apart from the clothes he is wearing, it isnt long before the young King realizes that life on his own is going to be full of challenges Meanwhile, Lord Von Dronus, the most senior of all the Kings courtiers, is determined to find the young King before anyone realizes he's disappeared. Beautiful, touching and surprising, The Kingdom Revealed is about appreciating the everyday and learning what matters most.
