| In Fifth Century Alexandria, Egypt Alexander the Great's namesake city has ambitions to be the most powerful in the world. And knowledge is power. The great Library of Alexandria houses the collected wisdom of the world science, mathematics, astronomy and literature. One of its greatest scholars and inventors is Hypatia a woman ahead of her time in a man's world. She's revered for her devotion to the search for knowledge. But the power politicking of one man, Kyril, starts a holy war in the city, which threatens to destroy the great library. Hypatia must find a way to protect it and prevent civilization from sliding into the Dark Ages. This thrilling play is based on the real-life events of one of history's most remarkable unsung heroines. | |||||
