.....Hatshepsut, Daughter of Thebes......
Hatshepsut, Daughter Of Thebes is a classical rendition of the reign
of Knemet Makare Hatshepsut who ruled Egypt, circa 1490 B.C. to 1470 B.C.,
first as a Regent, then as Queen, and, ultimately, as Pharaoh.
She was an extraordinary woman and has been referred to
as one of the greatest women in history.
The play centers around what is, traditionally, known as the "Thothmesid Feud",
which refers to the twenty year internal conflict between her and Tut-Mosis III
(known also as Thothmes III) whose throne it is reputed that she usurped.
The play takes literary license in assuming that a great romance existed
The play takes literary license in assuming that a great romance existed
between Hatshepsut and her Chief Steward and Architect, Lord Senn-e-mut.
The development of the love story and the intrigue surrounding the jealous
and scheming mother of Tut-Mosis III, Isis, is central to the plot.
The play may be presented as a dramatic play with music or a straight drama.
The language of the play is classical and formal, yet a constant fluidity is maintained. The musical interludes in combination with the visually stunning dance scenes sustain and enhance the momentum of the play and render it, an entertaining experience.
There are some musical selections which can be optionally presented as dialogue.
The full musical treatment with scoresheet and audio files is included with the script.
All composer rights to copyrighted musical selections and musical score are the property of the author and a Grand Rights Agreement will be negotiated separately with the playwright\composer.
The play script can be viewed, sample read, and purchased with performance rights on
