Akhnaton

About the show

Agatha Christie's play follows Pharaoh Akhnaton's religious reforms and political decline. As he elevates Ra and suppresses the old cult of Amon, unrest, famine and rebellion grow. Horemheb, Meriptah and Nezzemut plot his overthrow; Nefertiti is deceived into poisoning Akhnaton, and the epilogue announces the restoration of Amon's religion.
