Retelling of the fairytale ‘Hans who made the princess laugh’
Prince Arthur has been saddened so deeply by the passing of his daughter, Princess Faroe, that the kingdom has been shrouded by cloud and melancholy every hour since her passing. The townspeople regularly gather beneath the towers of the castle, trying to get Arthur’s attention and trying to cheer him up, but nothing works, and their attempts only succeed in making him sadder. John Doe, a baker from the edge of the town might be the only one who can make Prince Arthur laugh again.
