Princess Bride

This royal reign takes rejection to a whole new level

It takes a lot of courage for a single guy to approach a pretty lady in public. Even a polite rejection of the advance can spook a dude from coming on to anyone for a few weeks.

Brutal? Sure. But that's nothing compared to Turandot.

She's a princess in ancient Peking, China, who decapitates potential suitors if they fail to answer three riddles correctly. Now, that's brutal.

The Italian opera, Turandot, written by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni in the early 20th century, follows her bloody reign up to its end when a clever prince crosses her path. Will the cold-hearted princess learn to love or will she try and off the guy?
