A witty four‑act comedy of love, power, and a kingdom divided by a single riddle.

In a jeweled medieval court, a queen, a daring knight, and a scheming royal pair spar over loyalty, love, and the rules of courtly life. As rival schemes collide, the truth about desire, duty, and what it means to be a man or a queen unfolds with sharp humor and bold wit.

This edition brings to life a lively drama where a clever riddle becomes the turning point for hearts and crowns. Expect sparkling dialogue, theatrical humor, and a peek into a realm where love and power constantly test each other.

Meet Guinevere, Arthur, Florent, and Vivien—their loyalties, rivalries, and hidden motives drive the plot.
Follow a court that uses wit, charm, and a tricky riddle to weigh love against fame and fortune.
Experience brisk, stage-ready dialogue and theatrical turns that keep the tension playful and dramatic.
See how a single question about what women desire becomes a catalyst for prophecy, courage, and growth.

Ideal for fans of witty classical comedy and stage-worthy twists, this play invites readers to enjoy a blend of romance, social satire, and suspense in a theatrically charged world.
