Humpty Dumpty Almost Had A Great Fall

== Concept ==
Spinning off from the original rhyme, Humpty is the meanie in the story, gaslighting the fictional King Arnold and his horse, Gus in Victorian England. King Arnold is possibly named after 1797 original author Samuel Arnold. All the characters are cynical and selfish, as their conflict against each other because the King is angry at Humpty, who continuously insults his intelligence and fake-falls off the wall. the horse, Gus, is the only logical and sensible character in the story.
Playwrights have rejected the success of the initial Grand performance, but contributed to a sequel which was in development hell for the longest time.

=== Summary ===
The Entire play is spoken in rhyme. Everyone turns up by the brick wall and is in good mood, as Humpty clumsily tries to sit on his chair and falls. The King and Gus caution him, but Gus mentions how Humpty is fat ("Car-rot, car-rot is all that I eat.") and cautions that he should try dieting. Humpty threatens him similar to what Samson says in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. King Arnold takes umbrage at this and Humpty proclaims himself a "living spectacle". To this, King Arnold tries to climb the wall but falls and hurts himself- Gus opts to catch Humpty instead. Gus tries to warn the King, and caution Humpty that the King is powerful. He staves off a fight, but after an awkward silence, King Arnold calls Humpty a "village idiot" to which he says the King is unpopular. The King curses Humpty, but it comes true by chance and Humpty has a spot of contagious mold. The King references "Ring Around the Rosies" nursery rhymes which references the Black Plague- Humpty and Gus attempt to isolate the King and stop him from being infected- Unfortunately, Gus was too close to Humpty and passed it onto the King, who falls sick. The King May fall like the Ming Dynasty, now that he's infected with Humpty's potential pus. Humpty says he is "pissed good", and calls the King a "fuck". 
Humpty falls off the wall himself, and turns out he was conning the King and Gus, is an immortal British man-egg. His mold can be cured with toothpaste, and he leaves, the King and Gus are dumbfounded. King Arnold declares his own victory, telling us the lesson that "No poultry's offspring should be King in this nation's past".
