Half A Crown

    by Jane Lockyer Willis
Comedy Play Script: 'Half A Crown' by Jane Lockyer Willis

Synopsis

An adult fairy tale with a twist.

Princess Maud has had enough of royal life and leaves the palace to become a secretary to a firm of solicitors.  But try as she may, she cannot rid herself of her crown and royal ways.  When she finally succeeds in casting off a very physical tie to her past, an unexpected event compels Maud to review her decision.

A modern comedy, this play is a royal story played by characters performing a role play.  It should be easy to cast and requires one set.
