Answer:
This is a satirical (comedy) play written by Francis Dillon who produced many plays for B.B.C. The play highlights on the emptiness of modern life, where we have lost our joy and the capacity to live happily which was brought out in the most entertaining fashion in this play through the life of the King who suffers from melancholy.
Explanation:
The Queen convenes a meeting to solve the problem faced by the kingdom. The chancellor says that the whole kingdom shares the Queen’s sorrow since the disease called melancholy (sadness) has overtaken the King drastically and the Queen wants the remedy to cure the disease. She asked the court physician to speak, and he says that the King is affected by Melancholy humor and this can be cured by developing humor and laughter.
Buckram is a commoner who feels that the jester (entertainers) must introduce new jokes. Buckram brings a physician from Germany who says that the king must wear the shirt of a happy man for seven days to be happy.
