A young Bellarine cast takes a traditional fairy tale and turns the mattress upside down in The Princess, The Pea and The Yo Yo.

In an attempt to prepare a young prince for the throne, his parents set him two challenges.

The first is to become a champion and the second is to find a princess and make her his wife.

What can he possibly become a champion at? And what if he falls in love with a girl who has no royal blood?

The Potato Shed’s Rob MacLeod described the play as a timeless classic with a modern yet contemporary morality that is both refreshing and fun.

“It has all the features that have made Theatre 3222 4Kids shows so popular over the last few years.

“The Princess, The Pea and The Yo Yo is perfect for the second week of the school holidays.

“This magical adventure is ideal for children and for the kid in all of us! With lots of interactive moments, singing and a plot that’s easy to follow, it’s a must see.”

The Princess, The Pea and The Yo Yo runs at the Potato Shed, Drysdale, for eight shows from Tuesday to Friday.
