Once Upon a Mattress, a musical comedy on stage at NRACT
Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up.
Will she be able to pass the Queen's Sensitivity Test, marry her charming (if slightly clueless) prince, and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar they're so desperate to reach?
Get ready for outrageous comedy, catchy tunes, royal drama, and a whole lot of fun in this crowd-pleasing musical romp! Once Upon a Mattress is a laugh-out-loud twist on The Princess and the Pea, but if you think you know this fairytale, think again. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing...
