| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 4. No chorus. Whilst there isn't a formal requirement for a chorus, one could easily be added, as the protagonists refer to the reactions of crowd. |

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. |
