The Persians
by Ellen Mclaughlin
Synopsis
In this moving and poetic adaptation of Aeschylus' drama, Queen Atossa and her subjects anxiously await news of their King Xerxes' expedition to Greece.
What they hear is inconceivably horrifying: the vast Persian Empire has fallen, with an entire army lost.
Now the scant survivors of a catastrophic campaign, including Xerxes himself, must find a way to continue to live in the shattered world they once called home.
