"If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and the Pea', you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post-haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again."
This play is being performed with the permission of R&H Theatricals."A hilariously nutty retelling of the beloved fairy tale THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA. The show itself is a musical
comedy gem. MATTRESS is a masterpiece of its kind." -- Michael Portantiere, Theatermania
