Esther, Ahasuerus, and Haman
A royal banquet, and a queen who speaks.
What
At the king’s banquet of wine, Queen Esther names Haman as her people’s enemy, and the table erupts.
Why
The Book of Esther turns on two banquets of wine; Steen staged the second as Dutch theatre.
Notice
Haman recoiling as the king rises from his chair.
“At a king’s table, the truth is served with the wine.”
