Uncle Tom's Cabin

Hardback
Paperback

A modern book (less than twenty years old) in the story of The King and I, Uncle Tom's Cabin forms the basis for Tuptim's theatrical "show-within-a-show" in the second act of the musical.

Tuptim is incredibly brave, pointing up the similarities between the wicked "Simon of Legree" in her version of the story and the King of Siam in his own attitude towards her. Read the book which shocked America at the time of its publication - then give it to your favourite cast-member in The King and I !
