This fall's English department dramatic production is Middleton's The Revenger's Tragedy, a gruesome and satirical play about revenge and its often unpredictable and chaotic consequences. This Jacobean revenge tragedy, written a few years after Shakespeare's Hamlet, features a similarly conflicted, witty, and histrionic hero, as well as a dramatic personae of grotesque and often hilarious supporting characters. For our production, we have assembled a lively and enthusiastic student cast and crew; and we plan to exploit Conron Hall's eerie similarity to an indoor theatre (such as the Blackfriars) in London, England, circa 1607, to the hilt.
Please see below information regarding dates, times, and tickets:
