Adventure Story is a 1949 play by the Irish dramatist Terence Rattigan.

The play tells the story of Alexander the Great and his conquests. The play focuses on the transformation of Alexander after his conquest of Persia from a military adventurist to an uncompromising despot with grand vision of a world empire which estranges him from his erstwhile friends. Driven by a deep-felt insecurity he has to kill people close to him including even the father figure Cleitus. He tries to justify his actions in the name of his dreams of the world empire, but is haunted by loneliness in the end

The play holds a deeper significance, that the conquests of Alexander were actually trials to find himself and achieve spiritual enlightenment, through becoming a god (see Theosis).

The play ends with a nihilistic tone, that Alexander was to die and fade after all, his last words in the play are 'Who is to succeed me to the throne of Asia? Who shall I condemn to death?'





A faithful portrayal of Alexander the Great; his great ambitions, his insatiable conquering desires, exploration into his phsycolgy and his relationships with his family, his desperate longing for his father's love, anxiety self doubt

inevitably the author has been compelled by the demands of dramatic form to occasionaly ignore the historical order fo events and yet Rattigan maintains a high degree of historical accuracy and stays true to the important facts and their implications about Alexander, The play's power to show us a man whom we can remember as much for what he was as for what he did.
