The Queen’s Secret is a full-on story which deals with royalty, sages, and the way fate plays out in our lives. Life becomes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n an adventure, filled with wonder. It is identifiable and a favourite pastime of people of the East for millennia. The basic story line still holds interest to a modern day audience as we live in a world where many are searching for their biological roots. I would like our audience to find their purpose, gain spiritual focus and understand that time reveals all secrets. Audiences from all over the world will be enriched by this tale of devotional history.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This drama will be staged on Friday<\/span><\/span>, Saturday<\/span><\/span> and Sunday<\/span><\/span> @7:30pm<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Note: All our events are free.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Find us on social media:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n @festivalofchariotsDBN on Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n @ChariotFestDBN on Twitter and Instagram<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n www.festivalofchariots.net<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
