LIVE THEATREEnglish & Thai

Every racer has a story.
And where it began.

Boy Racer · The Prince

An Australian boy discovers karting in Thailand. After a humiliating encounter with older drivers, his dad takes him north to Woodie’s workshop, where a coach, the mechanic’s daughter and an unlikely team give him another chance.

Kal-El’s ambition grows. His older brother Liam, who has always seen himself as his protector, wants experiences and a place of his own.
