Playwright Aldyth Morris became intrigued with the story in 1929, when she came to make her home in the Islands. Hawai'i had been an American territory for only thirty-one years and its last monarch had been dead for only twelve. But loving memories of Queen Lili'oukalani, almost amounting to reverence, were very much alive. Now, after more than sixty years of living in Hawai'i, Mrs. Morris has captured the story in dramatic form.
Following years of asking questions and listening to the answers, and of reading books, articles, and diaries, Mrs. Morris saw clearly the story that must be told. She shares it with us, with sensitivity and respect for the characters involved.
