The Empress

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2021

It is the Jubilee! Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. At Tilbury Docks, Rani and Abdul 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 who finds herself enchanted by stories of an India she rules but has never seen.The Empress uncovers remarkable unknown stories of 19th century Britain, the growth of Indian nationalism and the romantic proclivities of one of our most surprising monarchs.

Recenzii

Gupta's play records the rage felt at the injustices of imperial domination.
The epic journey of the five characters in The Empress is not only magical and intoxicating, but historically enlightening.
