Synopsis

The King is knitting a zebra, a rococo coco bean plays music, and an extraordinarily talented bush plots the downfall of diabolical Inigo Snurl, the most ineffective villain since Captain Hook.

The Royal Gardens are the setting for this imaginative play in which King Trembley and Richard Harding Bush, a remarkable inhabitant of the gardens, outwit conniving Prime Minister Snurl.

Queen Rotunda, her dour handmaiden Persimmia, the pompous Doctor Lipfondly, and a pair of would be revolutionaries add to the fun, which is climaxed by a royal masquerade party.
