If you thought you knew the story of ‘“The Princess and The Pea,” you may be in for a walloping surprise!

Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab?

Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?

Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. 

"Once Upon A Mattress" will be performed August 24-September 9. Friday and Saturday evening shows begin at 8pm, Sunday matinees begin at 3pm. Make reseverations by calling the Playhouse Box Office at 864-855-1817 or by visiting showtix4u.com
