https://bit.ly/revengers2020Corrupt government, hypocrisy, abuse of power, adultery, murder, the death penalty, acts of vengeance, violence and vigilantism–Jacobean tragedy, or the headlines of The New York Times? This mesmerizing thriller is a searing examination of our social need for justice and our animal desire for vengeance. Part black comedy, part social satire, it’s a gleefully macabre plot-twisting blender full of Shakespeare and the Jacobeans’ greatest hits.
We were thrilled to reunite some of the company of artists that brought this play to life with our 2005 Off-Broadway production for this livestream benefit occasion. This benefit reading will featured Cecil Baldwin | Jason C. Brown | Denis Butkus | Geraint Wyn Davies | Saudia Davis | Ryan Farley | Ryan Garbayo | Claire Lautier | Anthony Michael Martinez | Paul Niebanck | Howard Overshown | Petronia Paley | Naomi Peters | Matthew Rauch | Russell Salmon | Derek Smith | Chauncy Thomas | Yaegel Welch. Each zoomed in from wherever they are practicing social distancing. Directed by Jesse Berger, the event included original music composed by Daniel Levy, visual and costume design by Tony Award winner Clint Ramos & Rodrigo Muñoz, fight direction by J. David Brimmer, and choreography by Tracy Bersley.
