Ein König zu viel

Theater dispute for our little ones

by Gertrud Pigor

Two kings are stranded on a desert island somewhere in the ocean. Two? But that can't be right! After all, there is only ever one king per country, per state and, of course, per island. Something has obviously gone completely wrong here and there is one king too many. Because where two kings rule, nothing happens. Orders are given, but no one obeys. No one washes the cloaks or polishes the crown. But who is the real majesty, who is in charge? A king alone without servants and courtiers, gardeners, cooks and shoeshine boys - is that even a king? And can a king actually do anything other than give orders?
A royal contest is to show who is the ruler of the island. The royals
fight, argue and bicker as well as their blue blood will allow.
