Alex Cox's Revengers Tragedy

Cottrell Boyce's script mixes the original Jacobean language with modern asides and sets Middleton's story in the year 2011, in the aftermath of a natural disaster which has destroyed the southern half of Great Britain a dystopia in which society is collapsing and where vendettas and the crude exercise of power are the norm.

Timeless themes of moral corruption and revenge are played out on a stage of gritty, punk futurism and anarchic violence. In a post-apocalyptic Liverpool of the future, a wronged man returns from a self-imposed exile to bring down those responsible for his wife's murder. Contains strong language, violence and sex.
