"Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts" by Gilbert Murray is a play set in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Sir David Carlyon, a former Chief Commissioner in India, and his daughter Vera as they navigate complex moral dilemmas, intertwined with themes of imperialism and personal sacrifice. The opening introduces the characters and hints at Carlyon’s controversial past in India, which looms over the present as various figures, including Vera and a young writer named Adene, engage in discussions about history and ethics. The beginning of the play unfolds in the Carlyon household, where Vera tends to her housekeeper Elizabeth. We learn about Vera’s medical studies and her interpersonal dynamics with her father, who appears strong yet harbors secrets from his past in India. Adene arrives, expressing his desire to explore the implications of British actions in Bhojâl, the territory once governed by Carlyon. The act sets up the tension between the idealism of Adene and the pragmatic, often brutal realities of colonial rule represented by Carlyon. This complex interplay of relationships and the stark contrasts between the characters’ ideals and the darker aspects of their experiences hint at the escalating moral conflicts that will be explored throughout the drama.
