FAUNTLEROY

Book and lyrics by Chandler Warren, Music by Robert Miles

Fauntleroy is a musical version of the world-famous novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, "Little Lord Fauntleroy", which tells the story of an elderly British Earl who realizes that he has to make some provision for the passage of his title and property to his heir and is chagrined that his only heir as far as he knows is an American boy of eleven whose mother is also American, a circumstance the old Earl doesn't like at all.

However, he sends his solicitor to retrieve the boy.   The story is the unfolding of the relationship between grandfather and grandson with a plot twister insertion of another claimant to the title.

We have taken certain liberties with the story by adding two love stories that intertwine with the main story plot, one between the boy's mother and the Earl's solicitor and the other a love story concerning two of the English servants who work in the castle.

This is a full length musical (approximately 2 hours).
