Sean Holmes's film noir inspired production was set in post-war 1940s Vienna and featured Emma Fielding as an eloquently persuasive Isabella. Sean Holmes updated the drama to a war-ravaged Vienna after the Second World War. This setting provided the perfect social context for the production, where prostitutes and black-marketeers prowled the streets, while zero tolerance of sin vied with hedonism and the abuse of power.
