The book explores how England's eighteenth-century theatre served as a platform for anti-imperial protest, highlighting the struggles of marginalized groups. It examines the ways in which playwrights and performances challenged colonial narratives and offered a voice to the oppressed, reflecting the socio-political climate of the time. Through analysis of various theatrical works, it reveals the critical role of the arts in shaping public discourse and advocating for social justice during a period of imperial expansion.
