The context of the story is a time when Venice was at war on and off with the Ottoman Empire, and while the Venetians were in control of the island of Cyprus: in other words between 1473 and 1570. The Venetians lost the island to the Turks well within living memory of the older people watching the play for the first time, less than 40 years previously, so the events could have been considered to have been in the recent past, as the events of the 1970s would appear to people in the second decade of the 21st century.
