This play is a clever and charming twist on the typical fairy tale.

Sorcerer Wartsitch, the wicked and the nasty, ruins the princess' 21st birthday bash. The princess is scheduled to choose a prince, but Sorcerer Wartsitch curses her with a small tree of undetermined variety growing out of her head. The princess has only three days to get it off -- or the spell will be permanent.

Gimlet, the good and the kind, uses his magic and wits to help her collect pieces of a riddle from each of the Four Winds. With only two minutes to go, the riddle is solved and the princess meets her choice prince -- none other than Gimlet himself.
