Short Play, Comedy / 4w, 24 any gender (youth)
Don Zolidis
A hilarious, tragedy-filled mashup of Shakespeare, Game of Thrones and more, Don Zolidis’ story of a magical kingdom in the midst of a power struggle is perfect for schools.
When the ageing king of a Magical Kingdom (England) decides to split his empire between his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle and the Snow Queen (who in no way resembles a copyrighted character), terrible tragedy ensues. Terrible, hilarious tragedy. Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of Game of Thrones and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of King Lear will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die.
Game of Tiaras was first commissioned by Maple Park Middle School in Kansas City, Missouri.

*The actress playing Snow White may play other roles in the show.
Guards, soldiers, etc. may be played by actors of any gender.
Also, this play is ridiculous. There’s no reason a person of any ethnicity or gender couldn’t play any role. It’s probably funniest if the princesses resemble their movie or television equivalents, but not necessary.
Double-casting: just about every role can be double-cast. In particular, the French soldiers can be guards or soldiers with a few quick costume changes.
A Magical Kingdom. Let’s call it England. A long, long time ago.
“Humour in every line.” – Ottawa Citizen
“The writing is on a completely differently level of intelligence, humor and complexity than anything he’s written before – and that’s saying something. It’s a transcendent piece in Zolidis’ already acclaimed canon.” – Tal Gribbons, Theatre Arts Director, Grady Middle School
