If you’ve ever had a hard time measuring up to the expectations of others, you can probably relate to Strathclair Drama Club’s 2016 annual production, Once Upon a Mattress. This musical comedy is a hilarious adaptation of The Princess and the Pea, a classic fairy tale. Originally produced for the Broadway stage in 1959, it has since been adapted for television in 1964, 1972 and 2005. One of the most notable cast members was Carol Burnett, who appeared in the original production as well as all three adaptations. Sarah Jessica Parker, Elliot Gould, Bernadette Peters, Matthew Morrison and Zoey Deschanel have also taken on leading roles in this marvellous show.
