Experience the enduring power of virtue and sacrifice in Hannah More's The Inflexible Captive, a compelling tragedy based on the life of Marcus Atilius Regulus. This five-act drama delves into a pivotal moment in Roman history, exploring themes of honor, duty, and the ultimate test of character.
More's play draws upon the historical accounts of Regulus, a Roman general renowned for his unwavering commitment to his principles. Imprisoned in Carthage, Regulus faces an impossible choice, forcing him to weigh personal freedom against the well-being of Rome. His story, fraught with tragedy, resonates with timeless Christian values and offers a profound meditation on moral courage.
