Does anyone know what the play "The Mouse That Roared" is about & what any of the girl characters are like?

Question

I want to know what the play is about & need some descriptions of the characters. Thankssss

Answer 1

I'm not aware of the play, but the movie has been a favorite for years.

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid. They send an invasion force to New York (armed with longbows) which arrives during a nuclear drill that has cleared the streets. Wandering about to find someone to surrender to, they discover a scientist with a special ultimate weapon that can destroy the Earth. When they capture him and his bomb they are faced with a new possibility: What do you do when you win a war?

Answer 2

Everything previously mentioned about the plot is correct. The female lead is the Glorianna the leader of Grand Fenwick. When I was in it all the parts were played by girls because I went to an all girls school so I'm trying to remember which characters were actually supposed to be female. I played the male lead's mother who has a few lines. There are two twin characters that I believe are women who are very funny.

Answer 3

I remember the movie and the book.

These were about a country called the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, which had a grievance against the USA (the copying of their exported alcoholic beverage). They're out of money. They come up with a brilliant scheme: declare war on the USA, attack, get defeated, and then collect money from the USA for reparations.

Answer 4

the movie was about this small country that declared war on the USA , knowing that they would lose then the USA would send money to them to help them out , but some how the small country won the war ....
