Once Upon a Mattress

Once Upon A Mattress is a quirky retelling of the fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea". The story takes place in a small kingdom in the year 1428. The domineering Queen rules the land and controls her teenage son and mute King husband. Although the prince is of age to marry, the Queen has devised tests impossible for each potential mate to pass. No one else in the kingdom is permitted to marry until Prince Dauntless has wed, and this is especially upsetting to Sir Harry and Lady Larkin, who are secretly expecting a child. However, when Sir Harry leaves in search of a woman who will pass the test and returns with Princess Winnifred, a rough, brazen, yet charming young lady, to vie for the hand of the Prince, the kingdom has hope. With the help of the King, the Minstrel, the Jester, Princess Winnifred is able to pass the test and a happy ending occurs for almost all involved.
