Muddled Ever After: A Fairy Tale Menagerie  One-Acts 45
FARCE WITH SONG. This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a fairly ridiculous tale! Hear ye, hear ye! Regular, unremarkable maidens must attend an upcoming royal ball so that the King and Queen can find a bride for their spoiled, immature son, Princeling Reginald. The contenders include a princess with an attitude; a stereotypical princess; Cinderella’s narcissistic stepsister; and Cinderella, if Barely-a-Godmother ever drops off shoes and a dress. To ensure the wannabe princesses are worthy of marrying Princeling Reginald?who could care less who he marries as long as he gets a bowling alley?the Queen devises an absurd test. Then to make a fairly ridiculous tale even more ridiculous, there’s an egotistical dragon who loves to eat royals, a trio of weird witches, and a prince who wants to be turned back into a frog. Amazingly, there are happy endings for most…in a muddled sort of way. Audiences of all ages will love the outrageous characters in this muddled mash-up of “Cinderella,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” and “The Princess and the Pea.”
Please remember it is necessary to purchase one script for each cast
member and one royalty for each performance.
