The man who never lied

Bring me the man that

doesn’t lie

Yes your lordship

The king sends a nobleman out to fetch the man who never lies, who is named Mamad. Mamad promises he has never lied and won’t lie in the future. The king sees the man as

a key asset.

Is it true you never lie? And you won’t in

the future?

That is true my king

You will be a key asset to the

monarchy

James suggests that the king should go hunting

Great idea James

My king, shall we go hunting

today?

James tells the King that it might not be the best day to go hunting. The king forgets he has sent Mamad to the summer palace, James’s

plan is working

Maybe it’s not the best day for

hunting

Maybe you’re right

James

One of the kings noblemen, James was becoming tired of been out of the limelight. He decided to plot how to get rid of Mamad

Murder?Beat him?We need to get

rid of him

Too messy, we won’t harm him…. for now

Mamad this, Mamad that

The king sends Mamad to the summer palace to tell the Queen to prepare a feast, since he was joining her for lunch.

Mamad, go tell the Queen to

prepare a feast Yes your majesty

*The characters have the same poses in all of the slides, a possible change I could make for the final production piece.

Move the anchorage up because the consumer tends to read top to bottom, not vice versa.

The Queen is waiting at the summer palace

Summer Palace

Mamad tells the Queen to prepare a feast for the King, the Queen says she’ll prepare one.

Your lady, the King is coming

for lunchOk, I shall

prepare now

Mamad returns and expects praise, instead he gets accused of lying

I’m back

James, who has spent the last few years tainting the kings mind, tells the King to punish Mamad.

PRESSUREThink of the food

he’s wasting

The man who never

lies?!?

Mamad!!

The king orders Mamad’s execution, the man who now feels two feet tall

James for

king

You are sentenced to DEATH!

The crowd shout for Mamad to be burnt. The man who never lies gets burnt at the stake.

BURN HIM!!

You are charged

under the lying to the

king act

Blend the characters into the background more, it is evident that the characters aren't blended.

The King’s funeral is the following day. Everyone in Winchester is sad, except James, who is using it as an opportunity to show off his

new title.

weep

James hatches a plan to kill the king with his rogue gang of ‘noblemen’

How do I get rid of the king?

Beat Him?

Murder?

You might be right this time

The Nobleman James offers the King some wine, but has poisoned the beverage. The king accept and drinks the wine, he starts to feel

ill.

Would you like some wine my

king?

Yes please James

The king is on his death bed and expresses his desire for James to be the king and rule Winchester.

James…I…want…you…to…be…king My sweet

king, please

don’t die…

Slowly

James officially takes up the King position and tells everyone to bow down to him and brands them ‘peasants’.

I AM KING JAMES, BOW TO ME PEASANTS!!

King James uses his power for bad and demanded taxes out the poor of Winchester.

Taxes Taxes Taxes

The resistance confront James to get him to back down without a fight. James, who’s currently power crazy, believes he can take on a whole army.

You have abused your power, stand down or be

captured

I’ll take you all on!!

Eventually people are tired of James’s behaviour so start an uprising against the Monarchy. Due to James only having a few noblemen and no army, it’ll be easy to overthrow him as king.

How do we overthrow the monarchy?

The army overthrow James and have an equal share in the Monarchy. James’s head is put on a spike and paraded through the streets of Winchester, cheers flood the streets of the City, as well as James’s blood.

The kingdom is ours

Take out the other two prongs on the speech bubble, it will look better with one.
