The Princess On The
Road -Kathleen Conyngham Greene
The play is about a
princess .She is the newly wedded wife of prince Florimund who rules that territory. She did not like the formal life of the palace.
She disguises herself as a
peasant girl and leaves the palace secretly.
After traveling twelve miles on foot she enters a village.
The princess feels
thirsty and hungry. But here is no one to help her. A child tells her that villagers have gone for harvesting.
She goes into a cottage and brings milk and bread.
Soon the villagers
arrive there and accuse her of stealing their things. She tells them that she is the princess of that land and asks them to drive her back to the Town.
The village folk laugh at
her and do not believe her to be the princess. They call her thief and vagabond.
Meanwhile a Juggler arrives
there. The villagers greet him respectfully. He recognizes the princess and warns the villagers to behave properly. They do not believe him and demand some proof of her position.
The princess sings and
dances to prove her status but they are not convinced.
At last the Juggler
suggests to the princess to show them the juggling of balls. She spins six apples in the air without letting them fall.
