Once Upon a Mattress

Once Upon a Mattress is a classic musical theatre fable based on the story The Princess and the Pea.

Many moons ago, in a far off place, lived a handsome prince
with a gloomy face, for he did not have a bride. But alas: the Prince
couldn’t find a lass who would suit his mother’s pride. For a princess is a
delicate thing, delicate and dainty as a dragonfly’s wing. You can recognize
a lady by her elegant air, but a genuine princess is exceedingly rare.
