The plays to be presented this evening have been selected from a long series written by Laurence Hausman on the life of Queen Victoria.
Hausman has written: "The Victorian era has ceased to be a thing of yesterday; it has become history; and the look of age, which now grades the period, grades also the once living material which went to its making When I started to plan this series, a f riend asked why I should trouble to resuscitate so dead an age. My answer was because I myself am a Victorian, and because, for me, the Victorian age can never seem dead. Here I have endeavoured to put on record the living interest which it must always have 'for me."
