'Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline' at the Arclight Theatre

The 7th Sign Theatre Company presents Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline, by George F. Walker, opening at the Arclight Theatre on the 7 Oct, following a preview on the 6 Oct, and playing through to the 23 Oct 2005

Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline is a swashbuckling satire set in late 19th century Europe, Zastrozzi pits its title character, a German 'master criminal' and judgmental atheist, against an idealistic Italian artist and self-proclaimed 'messenger of God' who has also murdered Zastrozzi's mother.

Having taken several years off from his criminal escapades, Zastrozzi is committed to demise of his ideological counterpart. Although the artist has thus far managed to evade him, Zastrozzi creates a new and ingenious plot using his former lover, 'the greatest seductress in Europe', to insure his enemy's destruction. Just as Zastrozzi closes in on the artist, he discovers his true nemisis to be an entirely different man.

The cast for Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline, directed by Adam Parrish, features Elliotte Crowell, Daniel Deferrari, Matt Harrington, Emily Stern, Orion Taraban and Charlie Wilson.
