In this modern day comedic fairy tale, a struggle for power leads to deceit, gender identity crisis, and ultimately true love. Even though this satirical fairy tale takes place in medieval times, it is told through the perspective of a modern day storyteller. We are forced to now ask the question: Have things really changed as much as we think? THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING has a playful and insightful manner of challenging traditional gender roles.
Once upon a time in a land far-far away, the Great King of Flugelhorn wanted to retire and spend his days feeding the ducks. But he didn’t have an heir, as his one offspring is a female and in Flugelhorn, the law states that only males can become king. This opens the door for his brother’s son to take the throne. There’s one slight catch. The
king’s brother, the Duke of Lesser Flugel, also only has a daughter. But the duke, still bitter about not being king himself, raised his daughter as a son in anticipation of this moment. Now the time has come for his “son” Basil to become the next King of Flugelhorn and the Duke will stop at nothing to make sure this happens. What could possibly go wrong?
