Publisher's Synopsis
Written by Francis Howard Williams The Princess Elizabeth: A Lyric Drama tells the story of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII and the last ruling monarch of the Tudor dynasty.
Told over the course of four acts, The Princess Elizabeth is a drama about the royal family from the perspective of the future heir to the throne. The story focuses primarily on Elizabeth and her relationship with her four attendant ladies: Beatrice Dacres, Isabella Markham, Lady Saint Lowe, and Lady Willoughby. This is a classic behind the scenes tale of love and betrayal, life and death, and political aspirations. While drawing on real historical events for inspiration, it is important to note that the plotline and characters of this story are certainly dramatic creations.
The Princess Elizabeth is a drama with some comedic elements that will appeal to fans of nineteenth century theatre. As a fictional look into the life of Princess Elizabeth and her attendant ladies, the story is a success, and one that will certainly be enjoyed by Tudor dynasty enthusiasts.
Francis Howard Williams achieved his goal in crafting an interesting drama surrounding the story of Elizabeth I before she was Queen. The Princess Elizabeth: A Lyric Drama is a competent work that deserves appreciation.
