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.

++++ Robespierre Oder Der Neunte Thermidor: Drama In 3 Th. U. 8
Bildern: Ein Gemalde D. Franz. Revolution Im Jahre 1794 Auguste
Anicet-Bourgeois, Francis Cornu, Georg Ball Winter, 1832
In 1828 a young man in rags appeared in the German city of
Nurnberg, saying that he'd been kept isolated in a dungeon all of
his life. Was he the bastard offshoot of some noble or royal
family, secreted away to preserve the honor of the house? Within a
few months he was dead under mysterious circumstances, his mystery
still unsolved. CASPER HAUSER uses the uproar caused by Hauser's
emergence to focus the white heat of the authors' indignation on
the systematic maltreatment of individuals solely to spare the
feelings of the rich and powerful elements of society. The anger of
the playwrights permeates this straightforward, exceptionally
powerful tale of a young man who never had a chance of living a
normal life. The drama still plays well to a modern audience

Paris. Mid-19th century. As the old aristocracy dies off, vast
inheritances become the object of a colossal struggles between the
forces of good and evil. The stalwart Comte de Kergaz and the
dashing reformed courtesan known as Baccarat clash with the
infamous Club of the Jack of Hearts; their leader is none other
than Armand's half-brother, the evil Andrea, a.k.a. Sir Williams.
Standing alone in the midst of this struggle is Rocambole, a
resourceful young man who owes allegiance to none but himself and
whose actions will eventually tilt the balance. The immortal hero
created in 1857 by Ponson du Terrail stars here in two plays, one
written contemporaneously in 1864 chronicling the fall of the Jack
of Hearts, and the other, a modern adaptation penned in 1951
revisiting the very first exploits of a young Rocambole. Both are
translated by playwright Frank J. Morlock who also adapted Lord
Ruthven the Vampire, The Return of Lord Ruthven and the Arshne
Lupin vs Sherlock Holmes stage play for Black Coast Press.
