A musical Ruritanian romance.

In the New York Times, the piece is described as 'a play about the exiled king of a mythical country who comes to America and finds romance' (8 June 1955, p.59). Later, the New York Times expanded on this to describe him as 'a deposed king of a frantic country called Brandovia where the inhabitants spent their time exporting bologna and fighting off assaults by their aggressive neighbors, the Carps and the Gloats' (23 August 1955, p.49).
