Lady in Waiting

by Duncan Pflaster

A knight comes to rescue a princess from a dragon, only to discover she's not that keen on being rescued. In iambic pentameter, and with room for an awesome sword-fight.

    A very fun twist on the classic story of a princess rescued by a knight from a dragon. Thoroughly enjoyed!

    Fun and funny, a playful twist on the classic fairytale. One of the very few ten minute plays to have a sword fight, and probably of interest to any actors looking to add a little stage combat to an evening of short works.

    This play is a sophisticated commentary on gender masquerading as a really fun send-up of the fairy tale rescue. I would add that the swordfight is dramaturgicaly sound and a lot of fun.
