Royal intrigue takes center stage in The Abyssinians, a gripping new audio drama starring Danielle Deadwyler (Till, The Piano Lesson) delivering a masterful performance as a cunning queen navigating treacherous political waters and scheming sons.
In the wake of King Ezana’s death, his brash widow Queen Yodit (Deadwyler) must decide which of her twin sons will ascend to the throne. Clashing beliefs about religion, duty, and the rights of a ruler collide in this unforgettable story about a royal house at a crossroads in history.

Set in the ancient Aksumite Kingdom of modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea, this fresh take on historical drama is enhanced by an original Ethio-Jazz score and powerful performances from a full cast of award-winning actors.
