Adventure Story The play focuses on the transformation of Alexander the Great after his conquest of Persia from a military adventurist to an uncompromising despot with a grand vision of a world empire which estranges him from his erstwhile friends. Driven by a deep-felt insecurity, he starts to kill people close to him including the father figure Cleitus. He tries to justify his actions in the name of his dreams of the world empire, but is haunted by loneliness in the end. Alexander the Great .... Paul Daneman The Queen Mother of Persia ....
