At East London's Tilbury Docks, Rani Das and Abdul Karim step ashore after the long voyage from India. One has to battle a society who deems her a second-class citizen; the other forges an astonishing entanglement with the ageing Queen Victoria who finds herself enchanted by stories of an India over which she rules, but has never seen. Through narrative, music and song, The Empress blends the true story of Queen Victoria's controversial relationship with her Indian servant and 'Munshi' (teacher), Abdul Karim, with the experiences of Rani, a young Indian ayah who confronts the challenges of life in 19th-century London. In doing so, the play uncovers remarkable unknown stories of Victorian Britain and charts the growth of Indian nationalism and the romantic proclivities of one of Britain's most surprising monarchs. -- Back cover 600 00 $a Victoria, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1819-1901 $v Drama. 600 07 $a Victoria, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1819-1901. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031183 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 19th century $v Drama. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Victoria, 1837-1901 $v Drama. 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1800-1901 $2 fast 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Garnett, Jane, $e editor. 830 0 $a Methuen drama student editions. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42B9AF4E4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
