Description
āGulzara, The Persian Slaveā is a rare example of a script for a Victorian melodrama that was intended as a private theatrical ā to be performed by a limited cast of amateurs in a home or school, not on a public stage. Rarer still, āGulzaraā was written by a female author to be performed by a cast of women. The only male character, Amurath, was a ābreeches role,ā played by a young girl. Thus this drama, set in a harem in Constantinople, in addition to spinning a yarn about the abduction of Sultan Sulimanās son, gives us an unusual peek at the lives of young women in the U.S. in the 1840ās and 50ās. - Summary by Kelly S.
