FROM the same stable which recently gave us an exhilarating Julius Caesar - Loose Canon, here in association with Iomha Ildanach comes another production of unusual interest. The Revenger's Tragedy, by one of Shakespeare's contemporaries, Thomas Middleton, is melodrama out on a spree.

All the world's vices are writ large as the plot unfolds. Lechery, ambition, incest, procurement, greed and, of course, revenge dominate every scene. It all culminates in a final tableau of literal overkill the stage is littered with bodies. An entire dynasty of Dukes lies dead, and those who killed them are soon to follow.

This general excess is contained, at least for the duration of the play, by the quality and discipline of a very talented company of young actors. David Pearse plays the lead revenger Vindice with authority and panache; his brother Hippolito gets a tuned, physical interpretation from Mark D'Aughton; Robert Price brings something extra to the Duke's bastard son Spurio; and Karl Quinn has presence and force as the corrupt Duke in waiting. Support roles are convincing.

Jason Byrne's direction uses his space, with simple and neutral costumes, to fashion an ensemble production of great clarity. For something different, try this one.
