A society riddled with decay and corruption fawns upon its murderous ruler, his lascivious, scheming wife and his rapist heir. But this decadent world has also spawned Vindice, vengeance personified, a primal force that dispenses gory justice without mercy or conscience and which must triumph, or be destroyed.
Variously attributed to Shakespeare's contemporaries Thomas Middleton and Cyril Tourneur, this is the quintessential Jacobean revenge tragedy, terrifyingly bloody,
bursting with violent energy and oozing pungent black humour.
