The Prince and the Pauper

The Prince and the Pauper
The timeless tale of class differences and swapped identities, based on the novel by Mark Twain.

The Prince and the Pauper, based on the novel by Mark Twain, is a delightful social satire centering on Edward, Prince of Wales, and Tom Canty, the son of a beggar. When a chance encounter gives them a glimpse of the other's life, the boys take the opportunity to experience a way of living that they'd always envied. Edward puts on Tom's worn-out clothes and has a chance at freedom from constantly being told what to do, while Tom enjoys Edward's luxurious lifestyle. It becomes increasingly clear, however, that neither Edward or Tom knows how to behave in their new environments. Things soon go haywire for both boys, causing them to switch back... without forgetting the lessons that they've learned.
