The Green Goddess

The Green Goddess is a play in four acts written by William Archer. The story is set in India during the British Raj and follows the adventures of a group of British travelers who are stranded in a remote palace during a rebellion. The palace is ruled by the beautiful and mysterious Green Goddess, a statue that is worshipped by the locals. The travelers are taken prisoner by the palace's ruler, the Maharajah, who demands a ransom for their release. As tensions rise and the rebels close in, the travelers must find a way to escape before it's too late. The play explores themes of imperialism, colonialism, and cultural clashes between the British and Indian cultures. It was first performed in 1920 and has since become a classic of British theatre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
