Casanova's Complex
Synopsis
Our audience meets Max Zenith an actor who has just given his final performance from the Memoirs of Casanova, Max has left a trail of broken hearts in his wake since the start of the play till it’s end, and cares little for the heartache he has caused, little does he know that a cruel retribution awaits, and that he will be faced with what for him will be the most cruel of choices. In the end our protagonist is forced to decide between having that which has given him the most pleasure in life sex and die, or abstain and live the rest of his life devoid of the pleasures of the flesh. The Casanova Complex is a look at the folly of self-love Casanova draws influence from the classic Greek Myth Echo and Narcissus. A modern day retelling of an ancient myth and a tongue-in-cheek look at narcissistic or one-sided relationships.
