A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess' soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning..

Applause rippled throughout the auditorium. Each actress waited, bated breath, to hear their name. With those words, their souls shared the joy and ecstasy of the Princess, and even if for just a brief moment, each experienced a treasured moment of freedom.
"When you feel afraid, is the world closing in? How hard can you breathe to save your life? Do you run or do you fight the life? Can you yearn for a flesh to flesh reunion or the children you left behind? Does the love end? Are you lost in desert with a weapon in your hands? Who's blood is the victim in you bleeding? Have you had enough?
In the immediate aftermath of the Princess's passing, the tightly contained, tradition-bound
world of the Queen of England clashes with the slick modernity of the country's brand new,
image-conscious Prime Minister, Tony Blair. The result is an intimate, yet thematically epic, battle between private and public, responsibility and emotion, custom and action -
as a grieving nation waits to see what its leaders will do.
