A historical drama that has been copied and adapted more than any of Shakespeare's works because its plot is truly universal to every culture. Too much power corrupts and absolute power, corrupts absolutely. Examples abound from Caesar to Napoleon to Hitler to Noriega to Sadam Husein to George Bush. Each in his own way, justifies his desire to be king and then spends most of his time trying to solidify his precarious position by any means. It's an old story but still relevant.
