The beautiful Emna plans to elope with her forbidden love, Dave.
Meanwhile, her buffoon father arranges a marriage for her to a
local delinquent. Enter a delirious aristocrat, who also throws his
hat into the ring, leaving only carnage and chaos to ensue.
'Tis the 12th, 13th or 14th century, something like that. King Dave
has subjected England to a decade of peace and therefore
prosperity. His family and his mates aren't having any of it. There
follows some treachery, with a bit of comedy, and a spot of murder;
not forgetting all the idiocy and sheer stupidity, which ends in a
touch of tragedy. Follow the farce as the reluctant monarch,
against all odds, battles for survival.
It's not clear whether General Von Schmitten notices the black
crows as he wonders around Auschwitz, contemplating the contents of
that evening's dinner. Long Boret certainly notices them whilst
picking his son up from school on the day the Khmer Rouge take
power. As for Masala, driving through Baghdad, he likens the Apache
helicopters circling above to a murder of crows. Short Histories
combines fact with fiction, comedy with tragedy, truth with farce,
and alacrity with melancholy; at times poignant, at times
irreverent. With so much war, and so much worth dying for, watch
out for the circling crows.
