The Flower Queen is a play about a little girl who can’t get to sleep because of the monster under her bed. The monster teaches her the magical original order of the alphabet, winding through a labyrinth of letters, until she finds the power she needs to achieve her goal. This madcap fever dream will remind you what it was to not yet know the alphabet.
