    • 2019

      Imagine Shakespeare meets Monty Python's Flying Circus in the Court of King Arthur... but in a mythical Kingdom of Biscuit City. By Fate, the King of Constant Worry weds a commoner who becomes his Queen of Fanatically Clean. Their teenage children, the Prince of Sad Excuses and Princess of Procrastination, have eyes for one another. Things get complicated when in-laws the Duke of Bad Decisions and Duchess of Dirty Lies arrive on a mission to steal all the croissants in Biscuit City. The Duke and Duchess come armed with three stunning Artificial Intelligence Man-Killer Mannequins. Then the King receives a warning from an unknown raconteur, The Bard of Biscuit City. King Worry's life is in danger. The Earl of Good Advice dispatches the Knights of Utter Nonsense to step up and intervene. The King and Queen need to know two things: Who is behind the threat and who is this omniscient Bard? The royal couple hatch a plot to bring the Bard out of hiding. The title of "Bard of Biscuit City" will go to the winner of a "Sonnet Off" contest, along with a prize of one thousand "Butter Bomb Croissants." Everyone must perform, including the Mannequins, the Archbishop of Ucantelope, Small Talk Satan and two Fools, BS and Mighty Boring. Mayhem and Love break loose on a hot, mid-Summer's night in Biscuit City and the reader is invited to come along for the... RHYME!
