What is The Play about?

Princess Poppy is putting on a play in her garden, and there is plenty to organise.

But Poppy becomes so determined to make everything perfect that she starts bossing everyone around. Soon, the others refuse to help and the play is in danger of being cancelled. Can Poppy learn to listen, apologise and work as part of a team before the curtain rises?
