Publisher's Synopsis
""Louis and Antoinette: A Tragedy in Five Acts (1794)"" is a play written by George M. Hunter. The play portrays the tragic lives of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette of France during the French Revolution. The five acts of the play depict the couple's struggle to maintain their power and status while facing the growing unrest and rebellion of the French people. The play explores the themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of unchecked power. The story is based on historical events and characters, but Hunter adds his own dramatic interpretation of the events leading up to the couple's execution. The play is a poignant reminder of the human cost of political upheaval and the fragility of power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
