Overview

Ever wanted to know what would happen if a young beggar and a prince changed places? So did Tom Canty and Prince Edward of Wales. One day after meeting by chance and noticing they look very much alike, they decide to try it out. However, it turns out to be more than they bargained for as each discovers the pitfalls of the other’s life and has difficulty proving (and, at times, concealing) who they really are. Mark Twain’s classic tale of mistaken identity and class struggle is filled with laughs and thrills.
