When Emperor Nero falls obsessively in love with the ambitious Poppea, their toxic romance becomes Rome’s ultimate power play. She’s ruthless, he’s unhinged, and together they’re unstoppable. Around them: gossiping servants, doomed philosophers, vengeful wives, scheming exes, and a chorus of opportunists, all pulled into the chaos of Poppea’s ascent.

As Ancient Rome collides with modern decadence, and marble deities oversee a glittering empire of excess and golden opulence, two people’s all-consuming lust can bring down an empire.

L’Incoronazione di Poppea

Jacksons Lane

Pressure is mounting in the offices of a high-flying start-up. The printer is broken, a birthday cake has no candles, and a big investor is on his way. Online, however, a series of anonymously published recorded conversations are causing waves that threaten to sink the company and change the lives of all involved.
