| Description | George Preedy, the author of this play, is a writer with a vast knowledge of Eighteenth Century Europe and more particularly Northern Europe. The drama is based upon the startling story of Carolina Matilda, Queen of Denmark and Norway (sister of George III, King of England, and wife of the imbecile King Christian VII), who was, through the influence of Count Goldburg, arrested on a charge of adultery and treason and hurried in the dead of night to the lonely and terrible fortress of Kronenburg; while Struensee, her lover was immediately beheaded. The development of this situation is fiction, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
