Princess Ida

Seattle Repertory Theatre
155 Mercer Street Seattle

The brilliant, assertive Princess Ida has sequestered herself and her court in the Castle Adamant, dedicating themselves to the study of the higher arts and absolutely, utterly forswearing the company of men. And the men - including her promised fiance, Prince Hilarion - are not taking it well. What follows is a hilarious adventure as The Prince and his friends try to win back their betrothed before war breaks out between the antiquated men of the kingdom and the warrior maidens of Castle Adamant. Surprises, twists and turns abound as disguises are revealed, hearts are laid bare, and magic is unleashed at Castle Adamant! Crystal Dawn Munkers leads this exhilaratingly updated take on the battle of the sexes - complete with operatic warrior maidens, a cross-dressing trio of dandies, and a bit of magic. Princess Ida will be performed in three acts, with two 10-minute intermissions.
