RIP Queen Elizabeth II. You woulda loved "Serving Elizabeth".👑
Written by Marcia Johnson (@cleverusername119)
U.S. premiere produced by @peterborough_players
Beginning in Kenya in 1952, during the fateful royal visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, Mercy - a restaurant owner - is approached to cook for the royal couple. Though she could use the money, she is a staunch anti-monarchist. She vows to stick to her principles, but her daughter, Faith, keeps trying to convince her to take the job.
In London in 2015, in the production offices of a series about Queen Elizabeth, a Kenyan-Canadian film student, Tia, serves as an intern on the project. It's a perfect fit for her as she has been a fan of princesses her whole life. But when she reads the Kenya episode, she starts to understand that fairy tales and real life are very different things. Serving Elizabeth is a funny, fresh, and topical play about colonialism, monarchy, and who is serving whom -- or what. Directed by @cezarwilliams
