Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy
Jan. 4-20, 2008
By Sid Fleischman. Music by John Engerman. From the book The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman.
Sid Fleischman's Newbery Award-winning book, The Whipping Boy, takes to the stage in this hilarious, musical adaptation. Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy tells of the unlikely friendship that develops between horrible Horace, aka Prince Brat, and Jemmy, the peasant boy who has been brought to court to take the Prince's punishment for him. After having more than enough of the Prince's mischief and consequent spankings, Jemmy has plans for a solo escape, but he's enlisted by the Prince as a companion runaway. The two soon encounter trouble from the outlaws Cutwater and Hold-Your-Nose-Billy, and Jemmy's wit must save them. In the spirit of The Prince and the Pauper, this winning adventure is a guaranteed good time!
