The Princess and the Pea

Available for booking into your venue
Suitable for non-theatre community venues as well as art centres and theatres

Touring 7th December 2009 - 7th February 2010

Sometimes the smallest things cause the biggest problems......

It's a hard life being a Handsome Prince, having to spend all your time looking for the perfect Princess to rescue, and attending silly royal balls. It's no picnic being a Princess either, especially if you're much happier climbing trees and fighting dragons, rather than looking pretty and wearing big dresses.

Come and see what happens when fairy tale characters decide to do what they really want, and no-one is quite what they seem!

This winter Proteus bring you another classic tale, created and mixed with their unique blend of physical theatre, circus, music and film. Suitable for all the family, you'll never look at peas in the same way again... .
