ACT 1 | The Emperor’s Palace
NARRATOR: Long ago in China, there lived an Emperor who needed a solution to a very upsetting problem.
EMPEROR: Am I the ONLY emperor in all the world who has no heir to the throne?
SERVANT: I’m sure you’re not the only emperor without a son, Sire.
EMPEROR: If I had a daughter, I’d make HER emperor.
SERVANT: That’s unheard of, Your Majesty!
EMPEROR: What will become of the kingdom when I’m gone and there’s no one in line to take the throne? There must be a solution! Servant, I’ll be in the royal garden. Tending to my flowers always clears my head.
SERVANT: Yes, Your Majesty. No doubt the seed of an idea will come to you.
EMPEROR: Wait a minute … That’s it!
SERVANT: What, Your Majesty?
EMPEROR: I have it – the perfect solution!
