AVGVSTVS is a sweeping historical drama chronicling the rise of Octavian: from the ashes of Julius Caesar's murder to the dawn of the Roman Empire. Written in a heightened classical style, the play blends Shakespearean cadence with the political realism of Livy, Tacitus, and Plutarch.
Across four acts and fifteen scenes, Octavian navigates a broken Republic
- Senate confrontations
- battlefield councils
- private reckonings
- impossible alliances
- the birth of power
- and the moral cost of destiny
Over ten years in the making, revised and refined with painstaking historical care, AVGVSTVS follows a young man forced to match ambition with virtue as he contends with Cicero, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Lepidus, Agrippa, and Maecenas. What emerges is the portrait of a leader who must choose between the ideals of the Republic and the necessities of rule.
This is Rome at its tipping point: its violence, its rhetoric, its personal betrayals, and its fierce struggle for order.
For readers who love Roman history, political drama, classical literature, and the timeless conflict
