Details
We're in a dystopian underworld of criminality, lust and murder. Vindicio is a young man played by a woman who, for much of the play, disguises himself as a woman. And that's just the start. He has with him the death mask of his fiancée whom the King raped and murdered; he seeks revenge, but is intercepted by the King's son, the Prince, who wants to bed Vindicio's sister. So begins this deadly battle of wits which is over 400 years old - but which suggests nothing very much has changed. Adapted from The Revenger's Tragedy (Middleton 1606) a fine cast of 9 singers brings to life this new, tragicomic opera.
