The Desert Queen

By James DeVita

Directed by

Hill Theatre
  • Summary
  • Cast & Staff

A spellbinding odyssey through the life of Gertrude Bell, an amazing woman that practically no one's heard of. England born to wealth and privilege, she became a legendary archaeologist and explorer of the Arabian deserts, traveling with full entourage and china service for tea and meals. The only woman among a government of men to decide the fate of the Middle East after WWI, she was hailed as the uncrowned Queen of Iraq for having mapped the country's borders, chosen its first leader and established its first museum.
