The Black Prince

Maharajah Duleep Singh is torn between two worlds, his birthright as King of Punjab and the aristocratic English culture he was raised in.

"The Black Prince" relates a particularly oppressive, but not well known chapter of British colonisation. The production is sumptuous in its settings and details, creating a colourful history lesson. Scenes of brutal bloodshed are included for veracity and provide a balance with the overall tone of majesty. The script is a little underdeveloped; some of the scenes tend to become overwrought, particularly those involving an impassioned dialogue between the son and his mother. Sikh.
