“For a princess is a delicate thing, delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing. You can recognize a lady by her elegant air, but a genuine princess is exceedingly rare!” Once Upon a Mattress

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story “The Princess and the Pea, Once Upon a Mattress puts a uniquely comic spin on the the tale of a medieval kingdom’s search for a proper princess to marry the hapless Prince Dauntless. Enter Winnifred the Woebegone, princess of the far-off swampland Farfelot – who makes her entrance looking like a drowned rat — she swam the moat. Winnifred, or Fred to her friends, is altogether too common for Dauntless’ mother, Queen Aggravain’s taste. “Blood will tell,” spits the Queen, “and yours doesn’t tell quite enough.” The Prince, however, immediately falls in love. But before happily ever after can ensue, Winnifred must pass a test, and prove to the Queen that she is indeed a true princess.
