 The
Young Queen Victoria
May 31, 7:30 pm
Directors: Jean-Marc Vallée
Dominated by her possessive mother and her bullying consort, Conroy,
since childhood, teen-aged Victoria refuses to allow them the power of
acting as her regent in the last days of her uncle, William IV's rule.
Her German cousin Albert is encouraged to court her for solely political
motives but, following her accession at age eighteen, finds he is
falling for her and is dismayed at her reliance on trusty premier
Melbourne.
Victoria is impressed by Albert's philanthropy which is akin to her own
desire to help her subjects. However her loyalty to Melbourne, perceived
as a self-seeker, almost causes a constitutional crisis and it is Albert
who helps restore her self-confidence. She proposes and they marry,
Albert proving himself not only a devoted spouse, prepared to take an
assassin's bullet for her, but an agent of much-needed reform, finally
endorsed by an admiring Melbourne.
