Casanova Dreaming
Edinburgh Fringe, August 2018
“the greatest master of all is Passion”
Asleep in bed with his first true love, nineteen-year old Giacomo Casanova is visited by an old man who shows him his future – but is what he sees a promise or a warning?
In this one-act drama playwright and director Martin Foreman revealed the life of the famous eighteenth-century libertine – a life more complex and varied than legend relates. One of several of Foreman’s plays exploring themes of love, loss and death in the city of Venice.
