AMIAS is a story of a young man's journey to find courage and discover his true self, an awakening of the historical imagination vital for a great writer, philosopher, and political leader.

Set in 1594 London, this play, while not a historical account, offers a lifelike portrayal of the personal and social life of Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam (1st Viscount St. Alban, Attorney General, and Lord Chancellor under King James I).

The central character, Amias, embarks on a quest to reconnect with his long-lost lover, Francis Bacon, seeking legal assistance for his ailing employer, the exiled Portuguese Prince Don Antonio. In their pursuit of justice, Amias, Bacon, and their allies clash with the political and financial machinations of other influential figures.

In the mist of history, much about the everyday lives of people remains concealed. This story offers a glimpse into the essence of Bacon's life and era, while revealing something timeless and profound-the enduring themes of courage and love that warm countless hearts and dispel loneliness.
