Political drama whose plot is rather like Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” (semi-historical story of a subjected nation raising revolution against their imperial overlords), except that the leader is a woman in 62 AD Roman Britain & the emphasis is much more on dialogue than action.
The entire piece is written in Iambic Pentameter (though exclusively in modern English), so its effect actually quite resembles Macbeth.
