Description In a new spin on the judgement of Paris, it follows a Duke who has decided to choose a new wife. He invites three women and gives an apple to his son to allow his son to choose his mother-to-be. The twist comes when the daughter of the Duke's embezzling steward arrives and both the Duke and his son fall in love with the vibrant young Perpetua. Will she marry the Duke to save her father from prison? As in all Fry plays, the truest love triumphs in the end.
