The Princess Who Had No Name: Synopsis

The play opens in the Misty Forest in early morning. Hansel and Gretel argue back and forth about their breadcrumb trail and stumble upon the Princess. Hansel and Gretel and the Princess talk, and the Princess realizes she doesn't know her name or where she is from. Gretel takes pity on the Princess and gives her some stale bread. Hansel and Gretel's father calls to them and they leave the girl to find her own way.

We then meet Rumpelstilskin dancing and singing by a fire. The Princess stumbles upon his dance and applauds his performance. Rumpelstiltskin and the Princess talk as she tries to find out more about who she could be. Rumpelstiltskin thinks that she must be a Princess because of her grace and her insistence at being addressed as, Your Highness. She becomes frustrated as they argue back and forth, and after she calls Rumpelstiltskin by his name, he chases her away from his clearing.

Hansel and Gretel return, but this time Hansel is looking much larger than we saw him last. Gretel argues with Hansel about eating too much candy from the Forest Witch. But just then, the Forest Witch appears. Hansel gives his best effort to fight her, but then both are miraculously saved by Prince Reveille! Prince Reveille asks Hansel and Gretel if they have seen a Princess. They are unsure who he means until he further describes her and then Gretel tells him in which direction she left. The Prince leaves and Hansel and Gretel are called home again by their father.

Goldilocks enters a kitchen with table settings for 10 people. Shortly after, Snow White enters the room and both talk about how Snow White's stepmother is a Wicked Witch. The Princess enters and the three talk about how the Princess doesn't remember her name or where she's from. She shares that she thinks she may be a princess and Snow White agrees, pointing to her quilt square that show the emblem of the four kingdoms. Goldilocks and the Princess want to take a nap and leave. Before Snow White leaves the room, an old woman (Queen of the West) comes in and asks if Snow White would like to buy any of her goods. The old woman gives her an apple for free. Snow White takes a bite and then feels so tired that she goes to lie down.

We meet Rumpelstiltskin again, singing and dancing around his fire in the woods. Prince Reveille stumbles upon the clearing and the Prince asks Rumpelstiltskin about his Princess. Rumpelstiltskin withholds information until Prince Reveille threatens his life, and then reveals the direction the Princess fled. Prince Reveille says goodbye and states Rumpelstiltskin's name, which causes Rumpelstiltskin to throw a fit.

We return to the house with ten table settings, and meet the seven dwarves stumbling upon the sleeping Princess, Snow White, and Goldilocks. The Princess wakes up and is welcomed by the dwarves. The dwarves notice the Princess' necklace and talk about how it could lead to her finding her home again. The dwarves introduce their house guests, the three bears, who are displeased with the new additions to the house. Goldilocks wakes up and the Princess and she are chased away by the bears.

Goldilocks and the Princess arrived at the Central Tower and are joined by Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother. Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother fight over Cinderella breaking her curfew. The Princess, Cinderella, and Goldilocks talk, and then the Princess talks with Fairy Godmother, whom Goldilocks is unable to see until a wave of Fairy Godmother's wand. The four talk and try to find out which kingdom the Princess belongs to, ruling out the Western and Eastern kingdoms. Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother leave, and Goldilocks and the Princess discover Rapunzel in her tower nearby. Rapunzel has trouble hearing them, but the three make a plan of which kingdom the Princess will travel to first. The Princess says goodbye to Goldilocks.

We return to the dwarves' and bears' home where they are examining the sleeping Snow White, and attempting to wake her without success. Prince Reveille appears and after the dwarves begging for help, he attempts to wake her up and is successful. Prince Reveille attempts to get more information about his missing Princess and struggles to make Snow White understand he is not her prince. Snow White's prince, Prince Hercules, appears and is very upset that Prince Reveille has saved Snow White and wants to fight for her honor. The two are broken up in their fight, and Prince Hercules is satisfied with saving Snow White from the bears as Prince Reveille leaves to find his Princess.

We arrive at the Northern Castle. The Queen of the North is holding a baby and anxiously listing off names. We learn that the Queen needs to know the name of the man her father made a deal with so that she could spin straw into gold. The Herald, Steward, and Nurse, are confused if their names were called by the Queen, and all arrive and let the Queen know that the Princess has arrived to speak with her. The Queen and the Princess speak and the Princess has a sudden realization that she is the Princess of the Southern Kingdom and has a flashback remembering that she pricked her finger on a spinning wheel after being cursed by the Evil Fairy as a baby. As the Princess suddenly leaves, she lets the Queen know the name of the man she was trying to remember.

We return to Rapunzel's tower and the Forest Witch is attempting to climb Rapunzel's hair. Rapunzel threatens her with her Prince returning to save her, and the Forest Witch removes Rapunzel's hair.
