Zastrozzi: The Master Of Discipline at Mainline Theatre

"On the surface, this play is an outrageous and comic melodrama but underneath there is something urgent that makes the play linger. This is a morality play of revenge. But whose morality is right and whose is wrong? Zastrozzi, the master criminal of Europe, seeks to kill Verezzi, the saintly artist, for a murder he committed years ago and has blotted from his memory. Who is the hero and who the criminal? The aristocratic Zastrozzi wants to destroy culture and morality itself as well as the new middle class and its ideas of enlightenment as well as its mediocrity."
