A world premiere!
Iin 1919, the character of “Zorro” first appeared in The Curse of Capistrano. Written by Johnston McCulley, it was a serialized novel in “All-Story Weekly” magazine. After the success of Douglas Fairbank’s silent film, it was reissued under the title The Mark of Zorro. Now he’s on stage in this world premiere adapted by James Rana. When a common citizen realizes the governor of Old California is arresting people because they disagree with him, he dons a mask and cape, and wields his sword to avenge the wrong. Of course he falls in love along the way. But she is, of course, in love with Zorro, and not the alter ego. As in ELTC’s world premieres of Rana’s highly successful adaptations of The Poe Mysteries and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a cast of six portray a variety of roles.
