Description
Elizabeth Bathory, a true story of obsession and tragedy, is presented in this drama play. In 16th-century Hungary, Elizabeth discovers that the blood of young maidens will keep her youthful appearance, leading to a killing spree that lasts for years. Eventually, she is imprisoned within her own castle, where a young priest attempts to save her from herself. As the story unfolds, the priest's motivations are revealed, and the question arises whether Elizabeth's desire for human flesh will outweigh her need for spiritual redemption. This play explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Based on historical events, this drama offers a thought-provoking examination of the complexities of the human psyche.
