Prince seeks princess! But not such an oversensitive delicate one as in the well-known tale of the princess and the pea. After all, who needs a princess like that? Besides, if you want a real prince, you have to deserve him. “I want a princess who can take a lot!” First she has got to climb the difficult way up to the castle. And instead of sleeping on a silly little pea, she will have to sleep on a big fat pumpkin. If any such princess exists at all – what does she expect of the prince?
A refreshing reworking of the prince and princess role models, based on the novel by Heinz Janisch. A pea that repeatedly rolls through the picture and a musician, who is himself a prince as well make it a truly enjoyable theatre experience for the whole family.
