Old King Cole (Paperback)

12 Principals (1 boy). Chorus. Various simple settings King Cole may be old, but he's not too old to fall in love, and he's decided that it's high time that he should take a wife. The women of the town and royal cook Dotty Dumplin are queueing up to audition for the role of Queen, but the King already has his heart set on Debbie Dumplin, Dotty's daughter, as his choice of bride. Unfortunately Debbie has fallen in love with Florian, who also happens to be the King's aide. King Cole's evil brother Peski and his wife Pariah are meanwhile conspiring to unseat him from the throne, with a little help from a magic pool that reverses the ageing process, turning Old King Cole into Young King Cole! Outrageous characters, flamboyant costumes, jokes, songs and an exploding birthday cake all feature in Paul Reakes's highly entertaining retelling of the well-known nursery rhyme.
