Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore INTRODUCTION In her new novel Theodora, celebrated author Stella Duffy traces the extraordinary life of Theodora of Constantinople, one of history's most fascinating yet forgotten women, following her from child performer to Empress of Rome. Theodora is one of the greatest social climbers in history. The daughter of a bear-keeper at the Hippodrome, she joins a theatrical troupe as a small girl and, by the age of twelve, is delighting audiences as an actress on the stage (as well as earning her keep with certain men backstage as well). "A bravura performance: a witty, moving, sexy book that bursts with as much color and excitement as the city of Constantinople itself." -Financial TimesRoman.
