The Spanish Tragedy
The Spanish Tragedy

Elizabethan intrigue with ghostly overseers.

If you're into the classics, 'The Spanish Tragedy' is a must-read because it sets the blueprint for the revenge plays that dominated the Elizabethan era. As you delve into the court's dark maneuverings, you'll find yourself questioning the depths of human nature alongside spectral narrators. It's a deep dive into early modern drama that still resonates with audiences today.

Description

The "revenge" play became the most durable and commercially successful type of drama on the Elizabethan stage. This example by Thomas Kyd, who was one of the originators of the genre, brings to life the intrigues of the Spanish court, dramatically juxtaposing romantic passion with sudden violent death and clandestine politics. The ghost of Dan Andrea and his guide Revenge observe the dark and bloody action throughout, provoking questions about the nature of the human condition.
