	The Green Theatre Presents Peter Shaffer's The Royal Hunt of the Sun Directed by Clare Williams
	This play centres on Pizarro, who leads an army of Spanish Conquistadors to Peru, to conquer the golden kingdom of the Incas. The soldiers claim to be "Huntsmen of God". But what are they really hunting? Atahuallpa, the God-King, and Pizarro the Conquistador.   Peter Shaffer's remarkable and highly acclaimed play explores the strange bond between these two men. Linked by power and authority, yet divided by culture and creed, Atahuallpa and Pizarro become locked into a struggle for survival in which one of them must die and the other must learn to accept mortality.
