PRESENTS

Join us for a rollicking spin on this fa-miliar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance providing for some side-splitting shenanigans. If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that it may not have been the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Chances are, you’ll

never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Carried on a wave of beguiling songs, by turns hilarious, romantic and melodic, this is

sure to be a crowd pleaser the whole family can enjoy!!
