Christopher N. Rowley co-writes and directs this children's fantasy
adventure adapted from Georgia Byng's novel. After discovering a
magical book on hypnotism, orphan Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) uses
its powers to escape her glum orphanage life and travel to London
in search of her friend Rocky (Jadon Carnelly-Morris). With the
bright lights of the city quickly causing a distraction, Molly soon
deviates from her quest and mesmerises her way into the lead role
of her very own musical, becoming a singing sensation overnight.
Trouble is not far away however, as Molly's new-found fame attracts
the attention of bungling criminal Simon Nockman (Dominic
Monaghan), who attempts to steal the magic book to use as part of
his latest robbery scheme. The cast also includes Emily Watson,
Joan Collins and Omid Djalili.

In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde lies on his death bed and the past floods back, transporting him to other times and places. Was he once the most famous man in London? The artist crucified by a society that once worshipped him? The lover imprisoned and freed, yet still running towards ruin in the final chapter of his life?
Under the microscope of death he reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisal of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross who tried and failed to save him from himself. From Dieppe to Naples to Paris, freedom is elusive and Oscar is a penniless vagabond, always moving on, shunned by his old acquaintance, but revered by a strange group of outlaws and urchins to whom he tells the old stories - his incomparable wit still sharp.
The Happy Prince is a portrait of the dark side of a genius who lived and died for love in the last days of the nineteenth century.
