So, what's the story? Led by the charismatic Leading Player, the ensemble cast tells the story of Pippin, a young prince who aspires to find passion and adventure in his life. To prove loyalty to his absent-minded father King Charles, Pippin goes to war. But when the Leading Player convinces the prince to fight tyranny, Pippin kills Charles and takes over his throne. Once realizing his mistake, Pippin begs the Leading Player to bring his father back to life, and she obliges. All the while, the prince is also falling in love with Catherine, a widow with a young son, and (much to the Leading Player’s chagrin), Pippin struggles to decide whether he should settle down and pursue a peaceful life in love or continue to make magic with the dazzling troupe of performers.
