The Light Princess

Now a Musical with Music from Tori Amos! 'One day {the prince} lost sight of his retinue in a great forest. These forests are very useful in delivering princes from their courtiers, like a sieve that keeps back the bran. Then the princes get away to follow their fortunes. In this they have the advantage of the princesses, who are forced to marry before they have had a bit of fun. I wish our princesses got lost in a forest sometimes.' When a princess is cursed to lose her 'gravity', she loses both her wit and her ability to keep her feet on the ground. Later, in a twist of the classic Sleeping Beauty, the princess saves a prince.
