As You Wish It or The Bride Princess or What You Will

by Michael Hagins

A Shakespeare version of The Princess Bride! The fair maiden Buttercup is betrothed to the evil Prince Humperdinck, but she is forlorn since her true love Westley has died at sea. Before she can make it to her ill-fated wedding day, three thieves and a man in black will change everything, and be proof that true love conquers all.
