Once Upon A Mattress at HCSD

An opening scene with most of the cast assembled on stage.
Prince Dauntless (Jonny Granger) and Princess Winnifred (Lindsey Rowley) share a hug for the camera.

Prince Dauntless, the son of a dominating Queen Aggravain and a mute King Sextimus is looking for a bride who can pass his mother’s test.  Since the marriage law in the small kingdom states that “no one may wed until Dauntless shares his marriage bed,” there is considerable support for a successful bridal candidate.  Sir Harry offers to embark on a search for a princess when he meets Princess Winnifred.  The queen is appalled by Princess Winnifred’s behavior, but after Dauntless pleads with her she agrees to test the Princess’ sensitivity by placing a pea under a 20 soft downy mattress.
