Produced by Skylight Productions Theater Written by Paul David Young; directed by Danilo Gambini; starring Baize Buzan; costume and set design by Jimmy Stubbs; lighting design by Nicole Lang McDonald; sound design by Liam Bellman-Sharpe The late Roman Empire is in chaos. Livia longs for her lover, who left Rome to lead the rebellion against the incompetent, debauched emperor. How has the once noble Roman republic succumbed to the tyrant's hand? Livia: A Roman Tragedy, though set in ancient Rome, is an urgent message for our time. Livia quotes the dramatic literature situated in ancient Rome, such as Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Coriolanus, and Antony and Cleopatra, and plays by Corneille, Ibsen, and Dürrenmatt, plus Roman philosophers Seneca, Cicero, and Epictetus, and the German sociologist Norbert Elias.
