True Unto Death: A Drama In Two Acts is a play written by J. Sheridan Knowles. The story revolves around the character of Charles Stuart, a young man who is falsely accused of murder and sentenced to death. The play explores themes of justice, loyalty, and honor as Charles is forced to prove his innocence and clear his name.The first act of the play takes place in a courtroom where Charles is on trial for the murder of his friend, Frederick Vernon. The prosecution presents a strong case against him, and despite his protestations of innocence, Charles is found guilty and sentenced to death.In the second act, Charles's fianc�����e, Lady Eleanor, and his loyal friend, Sir Edward Mortimer, work tirelessly to uncover the truth and prove Charles's innocence. With the help of a witness who comes forward at the last minute, they are able to clear Charles's name and secure his release.Throughout the play, Knowles explores the themes of justice and loyalty, as well as the idea of standing true to one's principles even in the face of adversity. The play is a classic example of Victorian drama, with its emphasis on morality and the struggle between good and evil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
