Antonio’s Revenge
Dad's dead. Mum’s shagging his killer. Girlfriend's crazy. Then Dad’s
ghost appears, crying for revenge. What else does one do but start
killing? Antonio makes Hamlet look like a little b*tch. This
rarely-performed Early Modern hidden gem from John Marston is batsh*t
insane, featuring everything you'd expect from a Jacobethan revenge
tragedy: feigned insanity, an evil duke, an all-knowing fool, a
smoking-hot mum, a ghost dad, a sad girlfriend locked in prison, a
plucky kid who’s definitely gonna get murdered, and, of course,
cannibalism.
'Rude, crude, and theatrically unglued' (Rick
Bowers).
