Summary "Nero" by Stephen Phillips is a historical drama written in the early 20th century. The play focuses on the rise of Nero, the infamous Emperor of Rome, highlighting the political intrigues and personal relationships that shape his ascent to power, particularly the influence of his mother, Agrippina. The narrative delves into themes of ambition, betrayal, and the cost of power as it explores the tumultuous dynamics between mother and son. The opening of the play introduces a tense atmosphere in the Great Hall of the Palace of the Caesars, where Agrippina orchestrates the murder of her husband, Emperor Claudius, to place her son, Nero, on the throne. As the act unfolds, various characters, including Xenophon, Seneca, and Burrus, are drawn into the plot, revealing the gravity of Agrippina's machinations and her determination for power. The scene is set for a dramatic exploration of family loyalty and betrayal, as Agrippina's ambition for Nero positions her as both a guiding force and a potential threat. The sense of foreboding is palpable, with prophecies and the dark legacy of power echoing throughout the narrative, foreshadowing the inevitable turmoil that will ensue.
