"Pure delight from start to finish. Lam's voice is so fantastic in this piece--and it's funny and poignant and smart and everything that a great romcom should be. Wildly original and full of all kinds sweet sci-fi, this play is bound to be an audience pleaser." - Playwright Emily Hageman

Cast 1 W, 2M, 1 other NPX Page

Asweet but hapless and dimwitted suitor wants to win the hand of the feisty and intelligent Princess Talia, and so he must complete several daunting quests. He has no chance, unless the resourceful princess gives him a hand without his knowledge.
THE DOWRY OF PRINCESS TALIA is a sly and irreverent 20 minute children's play for children of all ages that takes old tales and turns them topsy turvy. It is a fractured fairy tale featuring gentle giants, woebegone witches, and dragons who'd rather play than spit fire.
