This week our production of the Revenger's Tragedy written by Thomas Middleton and this time around re-imagined by Melly Still (Coram Boy) opened to the public and the press to much fanfare. It plays in rep with George Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara (also well worth a look) until August in the Olivier, National Theatre, SE1.
Here is the trailer:
And one or two reviews from this the next mornings papers:
"Elliot Cowan is simpler and better as the duke’s heir, Lussurioso. He and Kinnear make a real success of exchanging knotty Jacobean lines like a couple of blokes bragging in a bar. John Heffernan and Tom Andrews, as the duke’s stepsons, Supervacuo and Ambitioso (the names point to the complexity of character the author was aiming at), are hilarious studies in not so much the banality as the weediness of evil."
Christopher Hart, Sunday Times. 8th June 2008.
