The Price of Empire

The Price of Empire is a play by the author Xandra Omuthe which tells the story of the War of the Three Sisters.
It was written in 2599 BPC, two hundred and thirty years after the end of the war itself and first performed two years later in 2597 BPC.
The play is a study of the main actors in the disasterous events of the war. It is a loyalist interpretation, and she paints the Princess Acetta as a sympathetic character, forced to be ruthless against her better nature. The skilfully written scene where the Empress makes her famous promise to Princess Beatrice, just before the execution, has been known to reduce audiences to tears.
