商品簡介
The play "The Tragedy of the House of Serverus" was inspired because no one that I know of had written a play about Caracalla, Macrinus, Philostratus, or Cassius Dio. I wanted to write a play in the style of Terrence (190-159 B.C), being a Roman Comedy, full of lewdness and vulgarity; which is what most people wish to see, anyway, just senseless violence and lots of nudity and profanity. Right?
I did leave out the character of Diadumenian, because I didn't want to write a scene where a ten-year-old child is put to death, yet I did mention him and where and how the little brat was butchered. I had too! It's Roman Play!!
Katharine Harris Bradley (27 October 1846 - 26 September 1914) under the penname of Michael Field wrote a play about Julia Domna, and Henry Luis Mencken and George Jean Nathan, wrote Heliogabalus A Buffoonery in Three Acts. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1920. Escobar, C.H. de. "Heliogabalo: O SOL E A P糞RIA". Ed. Devir. Rio de Janeiro. 1989. Gilbert, S. Heliogabalus: A Love Story. Toronto, Cabaret Theatre Company, 2002. Elagabalus, Emperor of Rome a play by the American dramatist Shawn Ferreyra, which premiered in San Francisco, California, 18 January through 2 February 2008
All of these playwrights did a fine job of portraying the character Elagabalus, being an insane out of control stark raving sex craved lunatic, yet not one of them, did a very good job of telling the history behind the events, nor did they have a very complete cast of characters, which is the real drama anyways. Right? It is as if they edited history so as to appeases the producer for the budget of their plays as well as limited the cast for the director, which is exactly opposite of what Elagabalus would have done!! Therefore, they are all guilty of completely bastardizing the entire experience of the drama. What these moronic half-wit lobotomized playwrights did to history is what the Warren Commission did to the JFK assassination!
The play begins with the Death of Geta and ends during the Summer Solstice in the first year of Elagabalus's reign.
Why write another play solely about Varius Avitus Bassianus? It would be like writing a play about Julius Caesar or Hamlet. Boring!
The books I got most of my research from were: Philostratus, Lives of the Sophists. Eunapius, Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists. Translated by Wilmer C. Wright. 1921. Loeb Classical Library. Michael Grant. The Roman Emperors, 1985. Michael Grant. The Severans: The Changed Roman Empire, 1996., Orma Fitch (1910). "Studies in the life of Heliogabalus". Heliogabalus or The Anarchist Crowned by Antonin Artaud, Herodian, Roman History, Book 5 Gibbon, Edward, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter XL. Cassius Dio, Roman History Books 79 & H幨iogabale, a 1909 silent film by the French director Andr?Calmettes.
The play "The Ridiculous Life of John Henry the Spy" was inspired by "The Political Adventures of John Henry; the record of an international imbroglio," by E A Cruikshank.
The Play "Blackmail, Extortion & Bribes" was inspired because my friend David Allen Cress asked me to write a play for him; like five weeks ago.
