| Saucy Sinders Synopsis |
|
Prince Virginal’s kingdom is rife with loose women, men out for a good time, and houses of ill-repute. Bishop Bromide, his Chancellor, and a man of strongly puritanical disposition, is scandalised by the lustful behaviour of the citizens, and persuades the young Prince to issue a ban on all ‘pleasures of the flesh’ for one year. The punishment for disobeying this new law is immediate imprisonment. The Prince himself is a total innocent, brought up by the Monks in Buckfast Abbey (and as Mistress Quickly-Plastered says, trying getting your tongue around that one when you’ve had a few). He wishes to marry, to continue the royal line, and protocol decrees that he must wed a virgin. This seems a tall order, since all of the local maidens have already been ‘romantically involved’ at an early age. However, in Baroness Necrophilia’s House of Ill Repute there dwells possibly the only virgin in the land . . the Baron’s daughter, Cinderella: a young innocent brought up by Nuns in a nearby abbey. Cinders appears to be a most eligible suitor, particularly as she stands to inherit half her mother’s fortune if she is still a virgin when she weds. The jealous Baroness, however, is determined to keep her stepdaughter Cinderella away from the Prince, whom she plans to ensnare for her own two revolting offspring: Syphilis and Viagra . With the addition of two intellectually-challenged henchmen disguised as nuns, and a number of fairies whose motives appear to be questionable, and you have an uproarious recipe for comedy in true naughty-but-nice “Carry-On” style. |
