I attended a workshop reading of "Seneca and the Soul of Nero" through Indiana Playwrights Circle, and came away impressed by Marcia Eppich-Harris's skill. Of special note are Nero's character arc from uncertain young man to hellish despot and the subtle parallels created between ancient Roman political personalities and contemporary ones. This full-length play has a strong foundation of historic research; strong, individualized characters; and a plot that is equally horrible and inevitable.
