"The Prince of Parthia: A Tragedy" by Thomas Godfrey is a neo-classical tragedy written in the 1760s and first performed in 1767. Set in the ancient Parthian Empire, this groundbreaking play follows Prince Arsaces as he returns victorious from war, only to face deadly intrigue at home.

forbidden love, the royal family descends into violence, murder, and tragic misunderstanding. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
