Description
Tanika Gupta's Historical Plays explore the complex relationship between England and India over more than a century. Four plays are woven together to form a rich tapestry of personal and political narratives. The Waiting Room, Great Expectations, The Empress, and Lions and Tigers bring together characters from different eras and backgrounds, evoking some of Dickens' most colourful characters in the latter play. A coming-of-age story set in nineteenth-century India, Great Expectations is a vivid theatrical retelling of a universally loved masterpiece. These plays offer a unique perspective on history, exploring themes of identity, culture, and power. With their rich language and complex narratives, they are sure to appeal to readers interested in drama and the performing arts.
