Based on the author's Envoy extraordinary.
Description
This comedy deals with an inventor-genius of Roman times whose fate it is to discover things at the wrong moment. Set amongst the power intrigues and religious struggles at the court of a Roman Emperor, a Greek scientist arrives with his inventions of the steam engine, gun powder, and printing. The resultant catastrophes provoke arguments of Shavian wit and brilliant paradox, leading to a happy though ambiguous dénouement.
