 Revenger's Tragedy, The         Witch Of Edmonton, The         Women Beware Women

Revenger's Tragedy, The

Synopsis:
This mesmerizing Jacobean thriller, written a few years after Hamlet, is a searing examination of humankind's social need for justice and our animal desire for vengeance. Vindice, the Revenger, sets off a chain reaction of havoc in a corrupt and decadent Venice, which exposes outrageous indulgences and government hypocrisy, and ends in a coup de theatre massacre of epic proportions. Part black comedy, part social satire, the play is a gleefully macabre plot-twisting blender full of Shakespeare's greatest hits.

Witch Of Edmonton, The

Synopsis:
This fantastical tragicomedy features a witch, a fool, a young man, his two wives, an angry mob, and one very devilish dog. In a new adaptation of the original Jacobean play by Thomas Dekker, John Ford, and William Rowley, this rarely-performed classic rips open the dark underbelly of a small town. as the lives of its inhabitants intersect in strange and spellbinding ways, the power of a community for both good and for evil is revealed.

Women Beware Women

Synopsis:
Thomas Middleton's rarely performed masterwork of Jacobean juiciness, Women Beware Women, a scathing social satire of sexual politics, with a spectacular tragicomic denouement, continues Red Bull Theater's exploration of the seldom-seen classics of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Women Beware Women speaks with a shockingly contemporary voice about sexual politics and women's rights, even as it is a playful parody of serious sexual games, ultimately showing a society imploding under the pressure of sexual manipulation, victimization, and gender inequality
