The play takes a comic look at history, examining Britain’s role in bringing the Portuguese monarchy to an end.

Prince Carlos of Portugal, a relative of Queen Victoria and heir to the Portuguese throne was an eligible bachelor looking for a wife. Many of the most noble and royal families in Europe put forward candidates. Some of them eccentric, opinionated and entirely unsuitable young ladies - until the French Princess, Amelia of Orleans comes onto the stage!

Becoming King Carlos and Queen Amelia of Portugal there is a showdown when Britain challenges them and their Government over land in Africa. At this point Cecil Rhodes and his ambitious plans become a major problem and the play recounts a fascinating story.

The cast of twelve is mostly dressed in Steampunk costumes echoing the fashions of the time. Presenting a play that is educational and entertaining, it questions the rules of monarchy in a witty and amusing way.

Written partly in rhyme by Algarve resident Carolyn Kain.
