The Play of Hadrian VII

نبذة عن الكتاب:

Peter Luke's 'The Play of Hadrian VII' is a compelling theatrical adaptation of Frederick Rolfe's remarkable novel, *Hadrian the Seventh*. It chronicles the astonishing journey of George Arthur Rose, a disaffected ex-seminarian, who, against all odds, finds himself elected to the papacy as Hadrian VII. The play masterfully delves into profound themes of identity, power, religious faith, and societal alienation, offering a trenchant critique of the spiritual and temporal world through the eyes of its unconventional protagonist. It stands as a significant work exploring the interplay between human aspiration and divine destiny.
