Once Upon A Mattress

once upon a mattress

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea,"  a Queen Aggravin (Daniel Williams, left) tests the blood lines of a girl seeking to marry Prince Dauntless (Daniel Distasio, right) by putting a pea under her mattresses.  The jealous Queen prevents her love-starved son from marrying by putting prospective brides to insurmountable tests, waiting for Princess Right to come along.   King Sextimus' (Benjamin Rebstein, center) rollicking troupe takes theatre goers on a side splitting adventure in his land of Woebegone.
