Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition
In a humorous and heart-warming retelling of The Princess and the Pea, Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition brings a timely message of empowerment and finding your individual voice.
Many moons ago the kingdom was placed under a strict decree that no one may marry until the painfully shy Prince Dauntless finds a suitable bride. However, his overbearing mother, Queen Aggravain, ensures that every princess who tries to win his hand fails an impossibly difficult test.
Enter Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, a bold and unconventional young woman determined to prove herself. Unlike the delicate royals before her, Winnifred breaks every mold - much to the Queen’s dismay. As court intrigue and comedic chaos ensue, the Queen devises an insurmountable challenge: a single pea placed under twenty mattresses to prove Winnifred’s sensitivity! Will the princess pass the test
and win Dauntless’ heart? Or will Queen Aggravain’s scheming keep the kingdom under her rule forever?
