The drama unfolds at a Mediterranean royal court during the last years of the plague, tracing tensions between a ruling queen and rival nobles as political maneuvering, personal rivalries, and the threat of disease converge. Court ritual, songs, and ceremonies contrast with talk of fleets, conspiracies, and poisoning; characters debate loyalty, marriage alliances, and papal influence while younger courtiers enact seasonal pastimes. The work balances intimate scenes of vanity, fear, and longing with larger questions of authority and survival, culminating in tragic consequences driven by ambition, mistrust, and the relentless presence of contagion.
