Radio 3 play by Craig Warner

Synopsis

A new play by which is inspired by Puccini's Tosca and set under a more modern, but still violently oppressive regime - where men and women have fought to resist the domination of a malign government. Baron Scarpia's languid musings on the nature of power, and on his love for the opera singer Tosca, give way to a cat-and-mouse game in which the stakes are all or nothing. But inspired to fight for her lover Cavaradossi, Tosca's arsenal holds weapons against which Scarpia has no defence.

Cavaradossi
