The Queen Must Die

On the eve of  Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, a papier-mache  portrait of Her Royal Highness stands in Margaret Chivers' living-room  in preparation for the Jubilee parade. Two factions converge on  the house with the aim of vandalizing the portrait - three girls who can  see no other way of escaping the embarrassment of having to dance in  the parade, and three lads who want to make an anti-monarchist  statement. An ingenious and topical comedy.
