SYNOPSIS: a fairy tale
According to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, “Somewhat different than the Christmas fantasies of other years, ‘Princess Gloriana’ is not a script of slap-stick pantomime humour, but rather a well-written and well-directed story of witty and likeable fairy-tale characters who move quickly through scenes of happiness, tragedy and violence only to return to happiness once more.” Angie Hart, 1976
