The cinnamon heart

A three-act comic drama staged in a confectionery-flavored medieval court, mixing songs, ensemble numbers, and farce. The action follows Princess Caramella as she is besieged by numerous suitors while King Nougat I negotiates marriages with comic concern for material compensation. The middle act shifts to a chemist’s laboratory where Professor Paracelsus Finigin and a chorus of chemists introduce alchemical antics and theatrical mishaps. The finale returns to the castle courtyard and culminates in chaotic revelations, broken windows, and visible devastation. The piece foregrounds musical interludes, punning confectionery imagery, and satirical takes on courtship and royal pretensions.
