To save his father from execution for treason, the Bravo Giovanni
agrees to act as an assassin for The Council of Ten, and ruthlessly
carries out their orders for targeted killings against real or
imagined enemies of the Serene Republic of Venice in Italy.
Inevitably, the Council members begin using the Bravo for their own
purposes. When the Count de Bellamonte lusts after a helpless
orphan girl, he forces Giovanni to eliminate her protector. But the
girl's mother, the most sought-after courtesan in Venice, uses all
her power and influence to protect her daughter. The play, adapted
from a novel by American writer James Fenimore Cooper, is filled
with eerie beauty and quiet horror--like Venice itself, a gondola
of pretty pearls rocking gently on the murky, putrefying,
garbage-laden waves of its many canals.
