Omschrijving

The Palace of Truth is a play written by William S. Gilbert, a renowned English dramatist and librettist. The play is set in a fictional kingdom where truth is not only valued but also mandatory. The story revolves around the character of King Phanor, who is known for his honesty and integrity. However, his daughter, Princess Zeolide, is engaged to a prince who is not as truthful as he appears. The prince is cursed by a fairy, who forces him to speak only the truth. This leads to a series of comical situations, as the prince is unable to hide his true feelings and thoughts. The play explores the themes of honesty, deception, and the consequences of telling the truth. It is a satirical commentary on the social norms and expectations of Victorian society. The Palace of Truth was first performed in 1870 and has since become a popular play in the English-speaking world.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Original Plays by W. S.
