Emperor by COLIN THUBRON
Music composed and conducted by CHRISTOS PITTAS
Gaius Constantine was a 26-year-old Roman General and a worshipper of the sun when he was proclaimed Augustus in York in AD 306. Six years later he was suddenly converted to
Christianity. This play explores the private pressures and the spiritual dilemma of the Emperor during his bloody but brilliant campaign against his wife's brother, the Augustus Maxentius.
