Sweeping Beauty - Bill Kincaid - Bog

COLE BLACK RAYGUN might be a well respected king, but he still had a problem. Yes, it is true old King Cole had a reputation for being a merry old soul, but at the moment he was definitely not feeling particularly merry. Frustrated would be a more accurate word. Frustrated by that stubborn and obstinate son of his! Although Crown Prince Ronald Raygun was heir apparent to the throne, it was not at all apparent who his bride-the future queen-would be. Ronald had never met a girl he liked enough to date more than a few times, much less to consider marrying. And old King Cole desperately wanted to spoil some grandchildren before he died. Luckily, King Cole can call upon the services of his Royal Attorney, Lord Shyster, who helps him find the necessary Royal Loopholes in the law that requires royalty to only marry other royalty or nobility... Although this fractured fairy tale primarily satirizes the classic Cinderella tale, it also manages to fracture Sleeping Beauty and the Princess and the Pea....while also having fun with various politicians and other celebrities.This play is designed to be performed by high school, college, community, and professional Thespians.
