About the program
The world’s most famous diamond is alleged to have been taken
by force from Indian’s Sikh Nation in 1849 by the East India
Company and given to Queen Victoria. Now, centuries later, the
British Crown is facing a challenge to the acquisition of the gem
and a call to return it to its rightful owners. The play, penned by
FTC’s Director, Sam Parry, presents a fictional trial based on
expert testimony and a call to witnesses, including Queen Victoria
herself. Don’t miss this riveting courtroom drama, wherein the
audience will represent the jury and be tasked to reach a verdict:
‘Should the gem be returned? Or was it a ‘gift’ as
alleged?’
