Hold on to your crowns … it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
What would happen if you put multiple Monarchs in the same group therapy session? A hysterical historical mash-up where Kings clash, therapy endures, and laughter reigns supreme.
But the Monarchs are not amused. Marie Antoinette is moping, Mansa Musa’s in a mood, and Tutankhamun has tottered off … back to his mummy.
Can our therapist stop the session descending into chaos – who was it who broke confidentiality and leaked their royal secrets to the press? Can she unite this unruly band of royals and finally make some progress.
Do they want to? No chance! What will get in their way? Themselves! When you have a group of people who believe they’re the next best thing since, well…God, you’re going to have a pretty tough time
convincing them to change!
Pull up a throne – no time machine is necessary to come face to face with the biggest egos from the last 600 years – unfit to rule, unwilling to change but unmissable to watch!
