MUGSS make a welcome return after their fantastic production last year. In the Grand Duchy of Pfennig Halfpfennig, the theatrical troupe of Ernest Dummkopf is plotting to overthrow the Grand Duke Rudolph. The plot hinges on the misinterpretation of a 100 year-old law regarding statutory duels (decided by drawing cards). The central character, Ludwig, becomes engaged to four different women before the plot is resolved. Some hilarious moments and some great characters.
