What do you get when a Stoic philosopher writes theater?
You get the sound of reason screaming in a burning house.
You get fate without rescue, vengeance without end, death as a form of lucidity. These aren’t “plays” in the modern sense. They’re rituals in blood and logic.

Seneca’s tragedies aren’t subtle. They’re furious, philosophical monoliths soaked in revenge, madness, parricide, necromancy, and grief sharpened into weaponry. Thyestes ends with a man unknowingly eating his sons. Phaedra is lust and guilt turned into psychological collapse. Hercules Furens is a howl from inside divine insanity.

The language is high, the blood is higher, and the worldview?
Unforgiving. Cosmic. Pitiless.
Every line sounds like it was written by someone who knows exactly how you're going to die — and doesn't flinch.

Seneca writes like he’s been through the fire, and he has: exile, disgrace, and forced suicide. These plays are what he left behind — structured like ceremonies, spoken like curses, and still warm with divine rage
