The Adventures of Marco Polo
The Khan Gives Marco a Choice
by
The Adventures of Marco Polo follows the famed Venetian traveler on his journeys through the lands of Asia. The title evokes a world of distant courts, unfamiliar customs, and encounters shaped by Marco’s travels, with the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan among the historical figures associated with his story.
As a radio adventure, the series offers a dramatic journey through a historical setting, using spoken performance and sound to bring its world to life. The episode title, “The Khan Gives Marco a Choice,” suggests a moment of decision within Marco’s encounters at the Khan’s court.
The appeal lies in the blend of travel, history, and personal adventure: a listener can follow a celebrated explorer into a setting far removed from home, where relationships and choices matter alongside the journey itself.
