Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline
Written by George F. Walker, Directed by Adam Parrish
This dark satire provides a combination of fast-paced action, witty comedic dialogue, provocative moral debate, strong and sexy characters and plenty of incredible swordfights.
It is 1893 and Zastrozzi, the master criminal of all Europe (and also a self-proclaimed atheist), has been focused for nearly three years on the pursuit of revenge against the murderer of his mother: the whimsical, unconstant, and delusionally God-obsessed artiste Verezzi. Zastrozzi, with the help of his heartless protege Bernardo and his sometimes lover, the seductress Matilda, chases Verezzi to a small town in the Italian countryside. But while Verezzi may be an easy target, his tutor Victor, a former priest, presents a much more difficult challenge for Zastrozzi.
Zastrozzi performed at the ArcLight Theater in the Fall of 2005. The show recieved a decent bulk of onlne publicity, and universally praised as an exciting and entertaining production. As our first show that veers slightly away from the blatantly political, the play still resonated with audiences and reviewers as a play of the times.
