The Lord of Players

The Lord of Players

written by: Raj Reader

 

The audience began to sweat:
No, it can’t be;
Oedipus should not sleep with his mother.
All are tensed,
So tensed never before;
Even Aeschylus shook his head.
The chief patron Dionysus,
The chief guest king and queen.
The commoners remained so silent
As dead as a cold stone.
Sophocles watches them
Behind the scene
And smiles: the play is hit.
