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 at all 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.
