| Run Time | Around 25 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act comedy play for kids. Whilst there are two locations, it is intended to be played with minimal scenery (dragging the thrones off will be sufficient to indicate that we have left the palace!) |
| Synopsis | With the kingdom terrorised by a fire-breathing dragon, the King desperately issues a call for help. With none forthcoming save the less than impressive Prince Jodrel, it falls to Georgina to take on the challenge. Unfortunately Georgina is the newly-appointed royal cook and isn't much better than the hapless prince. However, with a reward of a thousand gold pieces on offer, the unlikely pair must at least make an effort. |
