I received a LibraryThing review copy of this from the author who advised upfront "Please note that this is a new satirical play. If you don't like satire or don't want to read a play, please leave these free print copies for readers who do :) ", and the Preface!...
“In an era of division, intolerance, and social issues that pressure test the foundations of democracy and the sustainability of our planet, one day, weeks away from Halloween, two hilarious ideas popped into my head. The first was a skit for Saturday Night Live featuring failed castle rioters choosing a new leader with a costume contest. The second was that Saturday Night Live might actually produce it. I did some research, recognized my silliness, and decided to do something more ludicrous: write a play instead. And thanks to rounds of feedback from theatre friends, I can't wait to see who produces it.
This one-act show-that exposes ecological absurdities and lampoons loyalty to authoritarian leaders-is, of course, designed for school, college, or community spaces that still allow theatre, the arts, and thinking. However, this satire with minimal props is a barrel of fun for virtually any occasion. For example, at parties, Halloween gatherings, table readings with the in-laws, teen sleepovers, the half-time show of the Super Bowl, heads of state inaugurations, and so on.
If you perform this play, I do not know how your audience will respond. However, like democracy, audience participation is strongly encouraged. And while certainty is often the great rallying cry of whackadoodles, one thing is sure: no live performance will ever be the same.
Spoons up!

It is short (one act, and all), and faintly reminiscent of a few Wee Free Men (if not blue, then green goggled), a crazy romp. I have several friends in local theater and I can see them producing this.… (meer)
