The
Italian adventurer and libertine Casanova, lived from 1725 to 1798.
Potter attempts to find a contemporary relevance through his central
themes of sex and religion. Themes which followed him throughout his
life. Casanova was imprisoned in Venice in 1755, and this is used as
a central device, constantly inter-cutting to contrast Casanova's
amorous escapades, radiant, joyful and brightly lit, with his
oppressive solitary confinement in the gloom of a half-darkened cell. |

Slowly
recovering from a terrible skin disease in a National Health
hospital, crime novelist Phillip Marlow continues to cynically
unravel the traumas of his wartime childhood while working through
the plot of his greatest ever detective story – with himself as
a crooning '40s detective on the trail of murderous Nazi plotters.
But what is fact and what is fantasy? |
|
As
his childhood memories return - to the evocative accompaniment of
hits like "It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow", "After You've
Gone" and "The Teddy Bear's Picnic", the clues to his
own past and the plot of his book slowly begin to knit together... |
