The book is a retelling of the classic tale of Bluebeard, a wealthy and powerful man who marries several women and murders them all. In this version of the story, Bluebeard is portrayed as a Greek tyrant who rules over a city-state. The play follows the story of his latest wife, who discovers his dark secrets and must fight for her life. The book is written in the style of a Greek tragedy, with dramatic language and themes of fate, justice, and the consequences of hubris.
