From the author of the very popular Anne of Green Gables .

Freely adapted from an Indian tale, this spritely comedy serves up a blend of love, adventure and intrigue.

On the eve of their wedding, Ravi and Parijata flee from their homes because their fathers are feuding -- due to the schemes of an ambitious Guru.

Parijata's father is the terrible tempered Raja; Ravi's father is the foolishly superstitious Sultan.

On a dangerous forest journey, the Princess loses her amazing performing monkey, Zmarti, and is kidnapped by Gumba, a cloddish thief.

After numerous chases and mistaken identities, the play ends in happy reunion and reconciliation and a surprise coronation!

This play can be produced with colorful, elaborate scenery, or with almost no scenery at all.
