The Gozo Creative Theatre Club’s latest production ‘Before Dawn’ is being presented in collaboration with the Gozo Culture and Information Office (Ministry for Gozo).
One of the best plays of all time which has been thrilling audiences since its premiere, Before Dawn is a timeless tale of passionate woman caught in a web of corruption, lust and betrayal. It is set in Rome on 17 June 1800 following the French victory in the Battle of Marengo.
The action takes place over an eighteen-hour period, ending at dawn on 18 June 1800. Its melodramatic plot centers on Floria Tosca, a celebrated opera singer; her lover, Mario Cavaradossi, an artist and Bonapartist sympathiser; and Baron Scarpia, Rome’s ruthless Regent of Police.
