It's not what you think. You may have heard Casanova's legend, but have you heard his heart? Could you read between the lines of the playwright who wrote the play Casanova and why he assumes that role of his character given the power of Cupid's bow and arrow? But he is just like you and I. After all, we all use the power of the bow and arrow in some form, whether through beauty, power, or wit. And we use that power to some extent to shapes love's stage. Admittedly, some are better than others.
And of course, our intentions are good. Well, at least we try most of the time. But unfortunately there are desires and motivations which we know not of, and nor do we know where they are from. In fact, we just don't know ourselves. If you were given all the power of the bow and arrow, how would you act? Is there any guarantee that your aim would be any better than the blind whims of Cupid? Especially in a world where love loves to hide, mask itself in indifference and most of all, act. We will quickly learn that the real story is what is happening behind the stage, under the stage, in the earth deep below the stage, over the stage, behind the pen, inside the heart, in the heavens, and in that place so distant and so far back-a place called home. This is a story dictated by characters with no roles, stars with no spoken parts, no cameos, and no love shared at all. Something happened that moved Casanova's heart. It moved the characters on the stage, and it is about to move the heavens. It seems today that the earth is shaking and the ground is moving, and it is getting more frequent. You had better check your foundations like Casanova did. If our house is unsteady, perhaps we might want to check here, and it might just heal the world.
Edward Hayes, the 2003 and 2005 Poet of the year and Shakespeare Award of Excellence recipient, takes on his most dangerously funny, unpredictable, twisting, and ultimately revealing projects yet. The Love Scrolls: Casanova is the story of a playwright who writes a play about a man given the reigns to Cupid's bow and arrow. As the story develops you will quickly find that the most juicy story and telling details never made it to the stage. Sometimes what is more fascinating than the story itself is what is motivating the hand of the one writing it.
Is it an autobiography of the poet of The Love Scrolls perhaps? Is it fairytale laced with fact, or truth twisted with fiction? Well the answer is: look behind the tale in this work and it will lead you to some of the deepest truths known to mankind. In this tale of failure, loss, and ultimate redemption this book holds some of the most deep, moving, and touching poems yet in The Love Scrolls epic including "Baseball", "What Would Jesus Do? Love Answers", and "Prism".
When you use a story to teach a moral lesson or truth, it's called a parable. When it is a love story used to reveal the truth of love, it is called, The Love Scrolls. When that story goes so deep and the stage stretches so low that it may discover truths so high, great, and noble as these, then it is called, The Love Scrolls: Casanova, his sixth work.
