Synopsis: | A comedy set on the wide street of Cheapside, London in Lent in the early 1600's it has often been described as one of the funniest satirical city plays, with its rambunctious and wild cast of Lord, Ladies, villains, cheats and whores. The play interweaves a series of plots and extraordinary set pieces to mercilessly mock the inability of learning or religion to overcome the old appeal of sex and money | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Thomas Middleton. Adapted by Sean Foley and Phil Porter | |||||
| Thomas Middletons outrageous city comedy: a brilliantly plotted, farcical satire of lies and lust, translated from Jacobean London to the Soho of the 1950s. A dashingly impecunious bachelor, Dick Follywit, in need of quick cash and a good time has to live on his wits so turns con-man to fool his rich uncle. He variously becomes a Lord, a high-class call girl and a poor actor. Meanwhile, Truly Kidman, a high-class call girl poor but quick-witted needs to fool and then marry a rich young man. . .Sean Foley and Phil Porters edited version of Middletons play is faithful to the original text but adapts it to fit the seedy world of 1950s Soho, updating character names and including songs of the time to enhance the biting satire of lust and deception in the life of Bohemian London. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Thomas Middleton, Cyril Tourneur or Anonymous, incorporating material from the writings of Francis Bacon, John Donne, Thomas Kyd, John Marston, William Shakespeare and John Webster | |||||
Synopsis: | This mesmerizing Jacobean thriller, written a few years after Hamlet, is a searing examination of humankinds 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 theātre massacre of epic proportions. Part black comedy, part social satire, the play is a gleefully macabre plot-twisting blender full of Shakespeares greatest hits. | |||||

Synopsis: | A tale of vengeance, violence and lust n the finest traditions of Jacobean tragedy. As he holds the skull of his beloved - who rejected the licentious old Dukes advances and so was poisoned - Vindice plots the Dukes grotesque murder.

Notes: | Original Playwright - Thomas Middleton | |||||
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 | |||||
