I learn my lessons from the lips of the dying: at any moment they may come for us, knife scintillant in the starlight, assassin sick with fear. So act first. Identify the danger, disarm it, and destroy. Who invented The Sun King? What became of him? Nick Dear's witty play deals with the rise and fall of Nicolas Fouquet, chief financier to Louis XIV and creator of the chateau which inspired Versailles.
