The play is set in Constantinople and features a cast of historical figures, including Isaac’s wife, Empress Catherine, and his rival, Michael VI. The play explores themes of power, ambition, and betrayal, and offers a glimpse into the political and social climate of Byzantine society during the 11th century.
