by Ellen Margolis Cast: 6f, 6m, 6 any.
Synopsis:
Princess Dar and Prince Dion from neighbouring kingdoms are destined for each other through an arranged marriage. On the eve of the wedding, however, they run away to discover their own futures – encountering disoriented lovers, hot-headed party animals, desperate draft dodgers, and a number-obsessed hermit. Identities are investigated, resources stretched, and every kind of love put to the test.
Why it's great for 14-16 year-olds: Replete with well-developed young characters and written almost entirely in verse, it's a perfect modern-day complement to Shakespeare, while exploring such relatable themes as youthful rebellion and self-discovery.
