SYNOPSIS:

The Princess and the Pigs is a brand new fairy tale written by PAFoster in the traditional panto style. It’s about the beautiful Princess Pearlina who has to marry the evil Count Cronos. (Boo!) With the help of her fairy god-mother she runs away to Pigglesborough; a land far, far away with a sad Queen (Ahh!), lots of pigs, and no children! The Princess Pearlina hides on the Royal Pig Farm and waits for the evil Count and his useless Cronies to give up looking.

There’s plenty of fun and mistaken identities as the disguised Princess falls in love with Pigglesborough’s handsome Prince Peregrin. Will the Prince discover who Pearlina really is or will the evil Count find her first? Why are there so many pigs in Pigglesborough and no children, and why are the Count’s Cronies hiding all the toothpaste?

Grab a cuddly toy pig so you can join in with the fun and all will be revealed! (Oh yes it will!)
