The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original drama written in English by a woman. Elizabeth Cary drew on Jewish histories by Josephus to create a closet drama (written to be read, rather than performed live) about Mariam, the second wife of Herod the Great. At the beginning of the play, Mariam believes that Herod has been killed by Octavius, and struggles with how to respond. On the one hand, she is relieved, as she is angry with Herod for killing her brother and grandfather. On the other, she knows that he loved her, and she feels caught by her sense of duty as his wife. When Herod unexpectedly returns, Mariam must decide what to do. - Summary by Elizabeth Klett<br /><br /><strong>Cast</strong><br />Mariam: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7679">Libby Gohn</a><br />Alexandra: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7138">Caprisha Page</a><br />Salome/Babas' Second Son/Nuntio/Narrator: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/1259">Elizabeth Klett</a><br />Silleus: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7848">bala</a><br />Constabarus: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/1492">mb</a><br />Chorus: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7170">Alan Mapstone</a><br />Pheroras: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4705">Algy Pug</a><br />Graphina: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4174">Availle</a><br />Babas' First Son/Silleus' Man: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/5424">Julia Niedermaier</a><br />Doris: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8677">Kay Hand</a><br />Ananell/Butler: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">Todd</a><br />Sohemus: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/2624">David Nicol</a><br />Herod: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/3699">Bruce Pirie</a><br /><br /><strong>Audio edited by Elizabeth Klett</strong>
