| Summary | "Apu Ollantay: A Drama of the Time of the Incas" by Sir Clements R. Markham is a historical drama penned in the late 19th century. The play is set against the backdrop of the Inca empire around the year 1470, exploring themes of love, rebellion, and political intrigue among its characters, particularly focusing on Ollantay, a chief not of royal blood who loves the Inca's daughter, Cusi Coyllur. The opening of the drama introduces Ollantay and his witty page, Piqui Chaqui, who discuss Ollantay's infatuation with Cusi Coyllur. As Ollantay passionately expresses his love, Piqui warns him about the dangers of such a forbidden relationship. Their dialogue is interrupted by Uillac Uma, the High Priest of the Sun, who cautions Ollantay against pursuing his desires, foreseeing potential consequences from the Inca Pachacuti regarding his feelings for the princess. The scene sets up various conflicts—personal, political, and social—that will unfold as the story progresses, hinting at the interplay of power, love, and loyalty in the Inca civilization.
