Dramatization by Ana Ripka-Rus, based on the stories of Queen Maria of Romania

When I was asked to write a play inspired by the stories of Queen Maria of Romania, I didn't think too much about it. I picked up the book and started reading. I was convinced that it would be the same as other stories, written by other authors. A presentation of the world and characters of the story, the plot, the resolution of the plot, the conclusion, etc.
