The Revenger's Tragedy - TNT

Melly Still's visually arresting, modern dress revival of Thomas Middleton's Jacobean tragi-comedy begins with an orgy and ends with a bloodbath. The revolving labyrinthine design and eclectic music portray a decadent Italian court, rife with corruption and lechery, where brother betrays stepbrother, bastard son gets it together with his father's new wife, and a mother is prepared to prostitute her virtuous daughter when substantial riches are on offer.
Elliot Cowan's louche Lussurioso follows in the rampant footsteps of his ducal father (Ken Bones) and, at the centre of a convoluted but clear plot, Rory Kinnear's Vindice (in disguise to avenge the murder of his betrothed and armed with her poisoned skull) rises to the challenge of being hired to kill himself.
