SHE: Immortal Witch-Queen of a Lost World
Based on the novel by H. Rider Haggard
Adapted and directed by Steve Schroer
As the genres of fantasy and science fiction gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an important subgenre emerged: the so-called “lost world” story, in which European or American adventurers discover hitherto-unknown civilizations.
By far the best of these stories is H. Rider Haggard’s 1887 novel, She, and now Hardcover brings it to the stage for the first time. In this amazing tale, three Englishmen travel to Africa, where they encounter a strange culture ruled by an irresistible woman with supernatural powers. Can she really be more than 2000 years old?
Hardcover’s adaptation of this classic is loaded with action, suspense, comedy, and (dare we say it?) philosophy – like an Indiana Jones movie onstage, but with interesting characters and provocative themes. If you enjoyed A Princess of Mars and Around the World in Eighty Days in Under Sixty Minutes, you’re sure to love She!
