Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Very Good. In the Native State by Tom Stoppard is a richly layered radio play that intertwines past and present as it explores memory, colonial history, and the power of art. The story follows a modern researcher uncovering letters and recordings that reveal the relationship between a British poet and her Indian portrait painter during the final years of the Raj. Stoppard blends wit, emotional nuance, and sharp cultural insight as the narrative shifts between eras, gradually exposing long-buried tensions and connections. A compelling work for fans of Stoppardās intelligent drama and those interested in British-Indian history. Photograph available on request. Seller Inventory # mon0001642730

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. The only SIGNED copy of the true first hardback edition of this superb play on the internet; it was written for radio and it differs considerably to the rewritten stage version, where it was retitled 'Indian Ink'. This is the first printing of the hardback, and it is as near perfect as it could be for the collector. Tom Stoppard has signed this on the title page. The unclipped jacket is also perfect, and is protected. Moving, fascinating, allusive, it explores the cultural and political legacies of India and England. One of this extraordinary writer's very greatest plays. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1730797554133
