It is the year 1578, spring has stolen across the land after a mild winter. The crops are planted, game is plentiful, and the people of Maynooth Village are content with life.
Being infected with the airs of spring, Tom Foolery, Master of Village Revels, has gathered all the folk in and around Maynooth for a spring celebration.
Little do the good folk know that the wondrous weather has attracted the Royal eye and imaginations of the Queen. Wishing to evade the stuffiness and strictures of State, Queen Elizabeth has called for a hunt. Lord Dudley, the Queen’s Master of Horse, quickly assembles a host for the Royal Adventure.
The Queen’s party happens upon the small village of Maynooth; where a spring festival is underway. Dudley, ever the schemer, sees this as another opportunity to press the Queen for her hand in marriage. The Duke of Maynooth sees this Godsend opportunity as a way to gain Royal favor for the small village he holds dear in his heart.
For the Queen, it is an unplanned opportunity to let her hair down and enjoy herself like she once did before taking Crown and Scepter.
But wait! What is this? Could it be? Those rascally pirates, the Rouges have shown up, blown off course in a mighty wind storm! And now they are hopelessly lost. The harbor Master is the only one that can give them direction back to London, but he wants his bounty and taxes for the information. Also, the harbor master quickly sees that the Rouges have apprehended a beautiful maiden that they have forced into being their cabin boy, not knowing any better. The harbor master wants this beauty for his own in exchange for directions. Will the Rouges surrender the beautiful, petite cabin boy? Will the Queen have to step in and settle the dispute? Maybe there will be a battle of swords in the street! Will these Rouges discover they should have never messed with the people of Maynooth? The plots are afoot and the hounds have caught the scent! Just how will this chase end? What hilarity will ensure as each player jockeys for the best position? Come, and find out!
