The Virgin(ish) Queen

Not all that topical this one!!!

The Virgin(ish) Queen

The Earl of Leicester has been summoned to the presence of Elizabeth 1.

Leicester is wearing a massive cod piece.

E : Ah, the Lord Leicester.

L : Your Majesty.

E : I expect you know why you are here?

L : I would not dare assume.

E : I need a damn good seeing to.

L: Excuse me Majesty?

E : A right royal rogering!

L : Majesty?

E : For God's sake man! A good hard shag!

L: But you're the Virgin Queen.

E: Purely a metaphorical title.

L: You mean?

Elizabeth, starts stroke Leicester's chest.

E: Of course man. I'm a Tudor. I've been in more beds than a daffodil!

Elizabeth looks down at Leicester's cod piece.

E: And there is something about you that has caught my eye! Big boy.

L: But majesty. I would not dream of such a thing with your royal person.

E : Hush your tongue my Lord. It will need to be active, later!

Leicester looks horrified.

E : Don't worry, I have only recently had my annual bath.

L : How recently?

E : Last Autumn.

L : Well, if it's all the same to you Majesty I'd rather......

E : Leicester, the executioner is not all that busy this morning!

L : Well if you put it like that your Majesty. Shall we?

Leicester grabs his cod piece. Elizabeth starts stoking his chest again.

Leicester breaks away.

L : Just one thing Your Majesty they say you have the heart and stomach of a King. Umm...are you sure that nothing else down there is like a King's.

Elizabeth laughs and pushes out her breasts

E : Leicester I have the finest pair of tits in the whole of England.
Everything, is as it should be! Quick hold me! I am the daughter of King Henry VIII, I share his traits, the red hair – top and tail! The love. The passion! The syphilis!

L: Syphilis?

Leicester starts to walk off stage.

L : Executioner! Room for one more!

Very well written as ever. Made me laugh and good use of timing e.g. the last Autumn bath. I'm assuming this bit didn't make the "children's biography of Elizabeth" :P

Having said that, not QUITE sure about the executioner better than syphilis end making sense.

I gave this particular section a miss - but I do wonder!!!!

Yeah. Good as ever, but a bit reminisent (oh for a spell checker)of something I saw on stage with Simon Munnery and Miles Jupp in it about Elizabeth and Raleigh- the name escapes me.

Yours is better though IMO.

Enjoyed that. Lean, sharp dialogue; but a couple of quibbles, the daffodil line is a bit weak, and the ending needs bigging up a bit.

Maybe have the executioner come on stage in an even bigger codpiece:

Executioner: Yes Ma'am?

Leicester: Your majesty....

Elizabeth: What? ...oh, it's alright Leicester, you can go...

Okay maybe not that, but something.
