Based on the fairytale of the 'Princess and the Pea', the story centres around
Prince Dauntless the Drab, whose mother, Queen Agravain, seeking to keep the boy
to herself, has declared that he will wed only a true princess of royal blood.
When all seems lost, Princess Winnifred arrives dripping wet from swimming the
moat and declares herself a contender for the Prince's hand. The Queen then
devises a clever test to determine whether this self-proclaimed princess is
worthy of her son.
Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, this rollicking spin on the familiar
classic off royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting
shenanigans. Chances are, after seeing this, you'll never look at fairytales
quite the same way again.
