About this book
"Yolanda of Cyprus" by Cale Young Rice is a dramatic play set in the 16th century. The story unfolds in the castle of the Lusignans on the island of Cyprus and revolves around Yolanda, a young woman caught in a web of love and ambition, as well as the political turmoil surrounding her betrothal to Amaury, the son of Renier Lusignan. The characters navigate themes of desire, deceit, and honor, highlighting the intense human emotions brought forth by their intertwined fates. At the start of the play, the atmosphere is tense as the women of the castle await news from the battlefield. We are introduced to the key characters, including Yolanda, her betrothed Amaury, and various guests, setting the stage for intrigue and rivalry, particularly with the Venetian lady Vittia Pisani. The opening scenes capture the deep emotional currents flowing through the relationships, especially as Yolanda grapples with her feelings and the implications of her love for Amaury, contrasted with the dangerous allure of Camarin. As events unfold, hints of suspicion and conflict arise, foreshadowing the tumultuous choices that will test the characters' loyalties and ideals.
