Princess Crystal's Magical Dream - 2010

by David Apps
9th-16 January 2010

Synopsis

Princess Crystal had dreamed the same dream for many years – a fairytale hero who would sweep her off her feet and so when her Father, the King, insisted that she should marry the old Prince Marmalade, she refused.  She would only marry the hero of her dreams.

Prince Marmalade’s arrival in the Kingdom causes Dilly Dally, the Princess’ personal assistant together with Wibert and Jingle, two inept courtiers, to conspire to delay him so that Princess Crystal can meet the man of her dreams, who it turns out is Peter, the owner of the local toy shop.

Everyone’s plans are complicated by two naughty fairies who enjoy nothing more than interfering and but despite all this, Marmalade eventually meets Crystal only to be told that she will not marry him.

Dilly Dally however says she will marry Marmalade and he accepts leaving Crystal free to  marry Peter even though he not a Prince.

However, it transpires that Peter is the long lost son of Prince Marmalade and so the King grants him permission to marry Crystal and they all live happily ever after.
