When an easygoing girl is found to be a long lost descendent of ancient Scottish royalty, a con is hatched to swindle her out of her birthright…caught between enthusiastically helpful flatmates, swindling thieves, a scheming vitriolic landlady and her own twin sister, the new “princess” must find a way to avoid eviction, help her fellow tenants and avoid the thieves whilst staying true to herself…the problem is, she’s not sure which version of “herself” she should be…
Birthright is a domestic comedy set in the communal lounge of a twin bed flat with an eclectic cast of tenants. Fast paced comedy, sharp dialogue and well-timed set pieces make this a challenging but rewarding script for any theatre production.
