Prince Pete isn't ready for marriage – he's only eleven! And this peculiar business with the pea is the daftest thing he's ever heard.

But when scruffy-looking Patsy comes along, claiming to be a princess, Mother's careful scheming quickly turns to soup.

A laugh-out-loud retelling of The Princess and the Pea like you've never heard it before!
