The Princess of Bagdad: A Play In Three Acts

In a sumptuous Parisian drawing‑room, a beleaguered count finds his fortune teetering on the brink of collapse. His wife Lionnette, raised in luxury, has squandered jewels and dismissed prudence, leaving a maze of debts that now threatens the family estate. As creditors close in, the count’s loyal footman and a sharp‑tongued confidant tally the losses, painting a portrait of privilege gone awry.

Amid the fiscal turmoil, whispers of a distant, exotic bride begin to surface—a Princess from Baghdad whose arrival promises to upend the household’s grim calculations. The play balances witty repartee with a keen eye on the absurdities of aristocratic excess, while hinting at alliances that might rescue—or further endanger—the de Hun lineage. Listeners are treated to a lively blend of satire, tension, and the alluring prospect of a foreign intrigue that could rewrite the fortunes of everyone involved.
