Once Upon a Mattress is a musical comedy that retells the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea in a medieval setting. The story follows Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, an unconventional and charming swamp princess, as she enters a kingdom-wide search to become the bride of Prince Dauntless. However, the queen, who has impossibly high standards for her son's potential wife, tries to prevent the match, even going so far as to devise a sensitivity test to prove Winnifred's royal birth. The test involves placing a pea under a stack of mattresses and decreeing that Winnifred must be able to sleep on top of it to pass.
ONCE UPON A MATTRESS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
