SETTING: Inside a castle. Different crowns rest on a sign in the background that says, "Act One." For this play, all you need are two actors and a narrator. But, each actor plays more than one part! To switch parts, actors switch crowns or hats. Except for Narrator, all parts are said in a sing-song voice, like an opera.

Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us for a night at the opera. This evening's performance is entitled, "I've Come To Marry The Princess" or "How To Make A Royal Mess."
