About this book

The book is based on the murder of Yazdgerd III, the last emperor of Sasanian Persia, who while being hard pressed by the Arabs on his western flank, fled to Marv where he was slain in a mill, in which he had been taking refuge.

The story begins with the Zoroastrian high priest (magus) of the Persian Empire, accompanied by the imperial army commander entering the mill to try the miller accused of murdering the emperor. The miller, his wife and his daughter, while trying to exculpate themselves, all express a different version of the same incident. As the story shifts, more questions come up than are answered.

Ibrahim the Mad and Other Plays: Volume One: An Anthology of Modern Turkish Drama
<p>Since the middle of the twentieth century, Turkish playwriting has been notable for its verve and versatility. This two-volume anthology is the first major collection of plays in English of modern Turkish drama, a selection dealing with ancient Anatolian mythology, Ottoman history, contemporary social issues and family dramas, ribald comedy from Turkey's cities and rural areas. It also includes several plays set outside Turkey. <p/>The two volumes together will feature seventeen plays by major playwrights published or produced from the late 1940s to the present day, with volume 1<i>,"Ibrahim the Mad" and Other Plays, </i> encompassing plays from the 1940s through the 1960s, and volume 2, <i>"I, Anatolia" and Other Plays</i>, including plays from the 1970s through the 1990s. They grant to English readers the pleasure of riveting drama in translations that are colloquial as well as faithful. For producers, directors, and actors they provide a wealth of fresh, new material, with characters ranging from Ottoman sultans to a Soviet cosmonaut, from the Byzantine Empress Theodora to a fisherman's wife, from residents of an Istanbul neighborhood to King Midas, from Montezuma to a Turkish cabinet minister.</p>
