Publisher's Synopsis
Wayward Prince Val is heir apparent to the throne of Goshen. Unfortunately, the impetuous youth simply isn't ready for the job. To obtain the mantle, he must give up his identity, assume the guise of a "learned monk of the Order Esoterica," and solve a problem "worthy of a king." However, when that "problem" reveals itself to be associated with proud, capable, beautiful Princess Arya, Val is caught between his task and his attraction for the Princess. Will he maintain his guise, assume the throne, and (likely) lose the lady? Or will he give up the mantle, all for love? "Wise Men" is a full-length comedy featuring a large cast (8F, 4M, 3-6 of either gender). The approximate running time is 2 hours. Set requirements are modest. If you are interested in staging this play, there are contact instructions included on the last page of the text.
