What Is The Story?

The small country town of Loxford is facing a serious problem. It's nearly time to crown their yearly May Queen - but they seem to have run out of eligible, virtuous girls. So an elegant solution presents itself to the committee: swap out the Queen for a King! Enter Albert Herring, the shy and sweet greengrocer's son. A perfect candidate - but no one counted on the involvement of Albert's friend Sid... Albert Herring takes a witty look at life in small towns and their quirks, all through a journey of chaos and self-discovery.
