The Spanish Tragedy
Hieronimo pursues the murderers of his son Horatio and takes revenge. Known as the first Revenger's Tragedy; this great play inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet.
The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd
Abridged and adapted by Pauline Harris and Emma Smith
Spain is in the middle of a peace treaty with Portugal, when Marshall Hieronimo is forced down a brutal path of vengeance from which there is no return. This bold and visceral adaptation is intercut with contemporary music in this new 91热爆 Audio Drama production. It powerfully explores the morality of revenge, the stages of grief, and violence, and the poetry of extreme emotion.
