Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Edwin Atherstone
The character of the last Philip of Macedon was by them as also by other great tragedians - considered to afford scope for the exercise of an actor's best abilities.
It was suggested - I fancy from Covent Garden - that the comedy would be more likely to succeed were the scene laid in England.
Therefore, under my father's direction, I (who from child hood had been his copyist - his 'secretary according to our most valued friends of those old days had to fairly tran scribe the whole, - changing names and scenery: but ere the task was completed, the Manager - at whose suggestion it was undertaken - seems to have left the Stage.
I much prefer - for many reasons - the comedy in its original form.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a thought-provoking play in five acts, delves into the tumultuous political landscape of ancient Thebes, a city divided between democratic and aristocratic factions. Set against the backdrop of the Peloponnesian War, the play explores the consequences of political strife, the struggle for power, and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom. The author masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and heroism, as the characters navigate a treacherous path. The clash between the democratic ideals of Pelopidas and the oppressive rule of Leontidas raises questions about the nature of justice, the limits of authority, and the fragile balance between order and chaos. Through its exploration of political corruption, the play offers timeless insights into the dangers of tyranny and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding democratic principles. It examines the moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught in the crosshairs of political turmoil, highlighting the sacrifices they must make to stand up for what they believe in. Ultimately, this book is a powerful reminder of the fragility of freedom and the eternal struggle between those who seek to control and those who fight to preserve their autonomy.
