Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Our story begins in Fairy Academy of Bottomgarden. Professor Sage is trying to teach the sweet little fairies, hapless Fairy Hyacinth and the disgruntled Fairy Wildfire. When Wildfire walks out of the Academy, she walks right into the old gnarled hands of the professor’s adversary, Witch Cacklewell. Boo!
The evil witch hates the fair Kingdom of Harmony where, despite her best efforts to cause discord and cacophony, King Cadenza and Queen Melody still sing in tune. They are gentle and fair and treat their citizens well. They even have a beautiful new baby Princess, in fact all the things that a Witch hates.
Aided by rebellious Fairy Wildfire, Witch Cacklewell plans to end the dynasty once and for all by ridding the kingdom of its only Princess and so the well known curse is given. Luckily the student fairies remember their lessons and are on hand to amend the spell, sending our heroine into a deep sleep until she is woken by a brave and resourceful Prince.
But where do you find an eligible Prince these days? A whole five hundred years passes and still no Prince appears. Fairy Hyacinth is still stumbling over her feet in fairy dance class but nevertheless, it is she who saves the day. She makes a Prince’s sat nav go haywire which wins her a distinction in her Advance Spells Exam!
Obviously Prince Michael of Modernia’s resourcefulness leads him to wake the Princess. But what happened next? Why do the Prince’s hilarious companions Chester and Harold remind everyone of the King’s old Court Jester and Herald? What becomes of the King’s song book? How will the medieval household cope in a modern world? It all ends with song, laughter and a spectacular wedding.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
