The Princess and The Pea

Presented bySpark Productions

Overview

The overbearing Queen has already determined whom her precious sonny boy, Prince Handsome, will marry – a princess, and only a princess. So when a muddy and very dirty, supposed Princess Jasmine catches the Prince’s eye unexpectedly, the Queen insists she pass the “pea under the mattress” test to prove she really is a princess. Only it’s not one thin mattress we’re talking about here, it’s thirteen mattresses, four feather comforters, and eight queen-size pillows! The comic jester tries to help her while an absent minded king and cheeky announcer add to the merriment as the Prince and Princess try to find their happily ever after.
