About the Program

Freely adapted by Jim Wren and Joe Sturgeon, UNC, Greensboro
--from the play by Thomas Middleton

A Jacobean tragedy re-imagined as a bloody homage to modern era female action thrillers. Set in a modern underworld, the play opens with the wedding celebration of a mysterious woman, Vi. The party is brutally interrupted by the Duke and his men, ending in a blood bath that Vi survives. The story then jumps ahead four years as Vi exacts revenge on behalf of her love by destroying everything and everyone surrounding the Duke. She will stop at nothing. A classic play that channels Quentin Tarantino and Truffaut's The Bride Wore Black.  
Performance timing:  2 hours, 20 minutes, including one intermission
