Imagine standing before an ancient Egyptian statue. It's magnificent, but silent. You see the carved stone, but you can't hear the conversations that echoed around it. You can't feel the hopes and fears of the people who walked in its shadow.
This play is my attempt to break that silence.
Welcome to The Scribe of Thebes. This story is set over 4,000 years ago in a bustling, rising city called Thebes. Egypt is getting back on its feet after a period of turmoil, and there's a feeling of new beginnings in the air. It's a time of grand projects, powerful priests, and ambitious pharaohs.
But instead of focusing on a king, we follow a student.
His name is Khety. He's 24, brilliant, and working as a graduate scribe in the great temple. He's the kind of person who sees a problem-like a farmer's field drying up, or a miner being treated unfairly-and can't just let it be. He has to find a solution. He's an idealist with a sharp mind for math and a soft heart for people, which, as he quickly learns, can be a difficult combination.
The spark that sets the story in motion is the arrival of a trader from a place almost as mythical as the moon to the people of Thebes: the Indus Valley, or Meluhha. This isn't just a story about exotic spices and beautiful beads. It's about what happens when a global connection is first made. Prices rise, people get restless, and the system is stretched to its limit. Khety finds himself in the middle, trying to make this new trade benefit everyone, not just the powerful few.
So, why write this as a Shakespearean play?
I've always believed that the people of the past were just as complex as we are. They fell in love, they battled jealousy, they wrestled with doing the right thing. The poetic, dramatic style of Shakespeare feels like the perfect vehicle to bring that emotional truth to life. It lets these ancient souls speak their minds, share their doubts in soliloquy, and scheme in rhyming verse, making their world feel immediate, vibrant, and surprisingly familiar.
At its heart, this is a story about a young man trying to make a difference. It's about the challenge of balancing big dreams with harsh realities, and the belief that knowledge and compassion, when used together, can truly change the world.
So, find a comfortable chair, and let the curtain rise. I hope you'll find Khety's Thebes to be a place of intrigue, wisdom, and above all, humanity.
I hope you enjoy the journey.

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
