A king makes an outrageous request of his wife, an ambitious networker social-climbs his way through a royal court, and anxious advisers conduct an empire-wide search for a new queen¿ involving makeovers, rose ceremony, and all the bits of the Book of Esther you don't read in school. A comedy for the ages, for all ages. Also included: a shorter and even more kid-friendly version of the same play with flexible casting.
