"Don't scorn words. If the struggle needs weapons give it words, My
Africa! Thami. Stones and petrol bombs can't get inside those
armoured cars. Words can. They can do something even more
devastating than that ... they can get inside the heads of those
inside the armoured cars." This powerful play by one of South
Africa's most famous playwrights delivers a forceful message to a
modern world plagued by political and social conflict. Burning
questions asked by those who lived through apartheid are as
relevant today as they were thirty years ago. What is the best way
to bring about political and social change? Violent action or
transformation through words and ideas? Fugard's play is about a

Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, 1887. At East London's Tilbury
Docks, Rani Das and Abdul Karim, step ashore after the long voyage
from India. One has to battle a society who deems her a
second-class citizen; the other forges an astonishing entanglement
with the ageing Queen Victoria who finds herself enchanted by
stories of an India over which she rules, but has never seen.
Through narrative, music and song, The Empress blends the true
story of Queen Victoria's controversial relationship with her
Indian servant and 'Munshi' (teacher), Abdul Karim, with the
experiences of Indian ayahs who came to Britain during the 19th
century. With private romance being mapped onto world history, the
action cuts between the ship and different royal residences,
offering bright contrasts as well as surprising affinities. In
doing so, the play uncovers remarkable unknown stories of
19th-century Britain and charts the growth of Indian nationalism
and the romantic proclivities of one of Britain's most surprising
monarchs. The Empress, which premiered at Stratford-upon-Avon's RSC
in 2013, is published here as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with
commentary and notes by Professor Jane Garnett, Wadham College,
University of Oxford, UK.

It's Cabaret, we've got our heads down and we're dancing and
drinking as fast as we can. The enemy is on its way, but this time
it doesn't have guns and gas it has storms and earthquakes, fire
and brimstone.... You were the glimmer. At the end of the tunnel.
And you went out. Earthquakes in London is a fast and furious
metropolitan crash of people, scenes and decades, as three sisters
attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves, while their
dysfunctional father, a brilliant scientist, predicts global
catastrophe. The play deals, through amplified theatricality, with
a range of contemporary issues from population growth to climate
change. An all-pervasive fear of the future and a guilty pleasure
in the excesses of the present drive Mike Bartlett's epic
rollercoaster of a play from 1968 to 2525 and back again.
Earthquakes in London first published in 2010 and has subsequently
become a much-produced and widely studied drama text. It is
published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes
by Bridget Escolme. The ancillary material is geared at students
and includes: - an introduction outlining the play's plot,
character, themes context and performance history - the full text
of the play - a chronology of the playwright's life and work -
extensive textual notes - questions for further study - an
interview with the playwright
