Masada Revisited III gives a different view of what happened at Masada in 73 ce when the Jewish defenders, according to the only historical account, given by the historian Josephus in his book “The Jewish War,” essentially committed mass suicide. Many Jewish people are disconcerted by this. Since Josephus wrote under the constraint of trying to please the Romans, his accuracy is suspect. The version given in this play is hopefully more palatable.
