Once Upon a Mattress, written by Mary Rodgers, Marshall
Barer, Jay Thompson, and Dean Fuller, is
a comedic retelling of the fairy tale classic, "The Princess and the Pea."
A bossy queen has rendered her husband speechless and her son wifeless. Alas,
no one can marry until the prince is wed, so the entire
kingdom roots for each potential princess as the queen puts her through a grueling
trial. Along comes Princess Fred, an aggressive "lily" from the
swamplands, and everyone, save the queen, prays shell be sensitive enough to
pass the royal pea test.
