Sunday Telegraph
"Bloody dance of sex and death strikes all the right notes"
Evening Standard
"Club music, gothic interiors, sarcastic humour and some heavy daubs of gore….an insistent coup de theatre."
Daily Mail
"Rory Kinnear superbly captures the conflicted essence of the hero. His performance is both bravura and psychologically subtle, backed up with a production full of intriguing insights"
The Independent
"More killings and a higher body count that anything written today... Makes Hamlet look like a tea party... Spectacular"
The Telegraph
As he holds the skull of his beloved - who rejected the licentious old Duke's advances and so was poisoned - Vindice plots the Duke's grotesque murder. But in a court where adultery, rape and incest are the norm, his vengeance does not stop there. An orgy of ritualistic, even playful, bloodletting follows.
Were't not for gold and women there would be no damnation.
The Revenger's Tragedy is a ferociously dark play by Thomas Middleton, set in an avaricious world that seethes with vice and retribution.
Following his Olivier award-winning performance in The Man of Mode, Rory Kinnear returns to play Vindice.
