About This Book

Een verouderende koning worstelt met opstandige edelen terwijl zijn onberekenbare zoon tussen vorstelijke plichten en losbandig gezelschap zwerft, waarvoor een innige kameraad een komische tegenpool vormt. De handeling wisselt tussen hofpolitiek en uitbundige etablissementsscènes, en bouwt naar een conflict waarin eer, leiderschap en loyaliteit worden uitgedaagd. Rebellie en generatieclash raken verweven met vragen over legitimiteit en volwassenwording, terwijl scherpe dialogen en theatrale confrontaties zowel tragische spanning als komisch relief bieden.
