Synopsis: | Agrippina is a play about the lust for power and the power of lust. Agrippina, the dowager empress of Rome, makes a play for power at court due to her anger at her son's affair with a freedwoman. She decides to sit next to Nero at court, an event unprecedented by a woman in the history of Rome. However, Agrippina's lover, Pallas, allays her fears and smoothes things over. Meanwhile, the minister Otho and his wife, Poppeia, work to lure Nero away from his mother and move closer to the throne by sexual means. When Nero's tutor, Burrus, tells Nero his mother has plans to overthrow him, the emperor exiles Agrippina to an island. In retribution, Agrippina threatens to overthrow Nero and make his stepbrother, the true heir to the throne, emperor. Nero's ministers poison the boy, depriving Agrippina of her only weapon. The emperor cries for help to quash his mother and his ministers travel to the island where she is living in exile and kill her. Nero and his guilty conscience are left in the deceptive hands of Poppeia. | |||||
