BLACKFRIARS PREMIERE

Actor Love

The monstrous Roman emperor, Domitianus Caesar, cruelly abuses his power to satisfy his every depraved desire.  At the emperor’s command, Paris, the beguiling Roman actor, performs three plays – each with increasingly disastrous consequences.  In this captivating and startling play written for the original Blackfriars Playhouse, Massinger shows us a fascinating look into the nature of power and the power of extreme theatre.
