Literature Companion: The Revenger's Tragedy

The play presents a vivid and frequently violent picture of lust and ambition in an Italian court. The tone of the play is satiric and cynicism of Jacobean tragedy is quite noticeable.

Some time before the restoration of the theatres in 1660, “The Revenger’s Tragedy” lost its appeal and it fell out of favor. However, it was revived in the 20th century. The modern directors and audiences admired the play’s affinity, though it was written about four centuries earlier.
