Once upon a stormy night, while the wind and the rain were howling outside, the Royals were all tucked up warm in bed. Suddenly there came a knock at the door and a very wet, very untidy girl was brought inside.

The Princess And The Pea is a playful and comic story of a prince in search of a real princess, a clever queen, a girl who is not as she first appears, a tower of matresses and of course a tiny pea. 

Polka theatre’s quirky adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale is played out among sheets and blankets with puppets, objects and dreamlike projections.

The Princess And The Pea is suitable for ages 2-5
