This mystical fairy tale is filled with riveting royalty, merry maids, vibrant villagers, a pretty princess, a selfish witch, and a wise witch. The evil sorceress Grizelda casts a spell on Princess Blossom causing the beautiful princess to lose her memory. The spell also makes everyone believe that Grizelda is the real princess. Blossom is then banished to the village where she is befriended by the villagers. Grizelda's plan is soon discovered by Glorene, a mild-mannered seller of herbs who is really a good witch. Glorene must then come up with a plan to reverse Grizelda's spell and return Princess Blossom to her rightful place at the castle. This play also shows the joy of reading and the need for purpose in everyone's life.

Madame DeBoshe suspects her husband of having an affair and, of course, the poor man is the only one on stage who isn't! Double entendres abound and situations arise out of mistaken identity, misplaced correspondence, a lost "silver palate," and a revolving bed! Definitely politically incorrect!
