The original play on which Revengers Tragedy is based was first published in 1606 - but this movie version brings the story up-to-date, and in fact, some way beyond. Here, the year is 2011, and much of the south of England has been destroyed in a natural disaster – and in a Liverpool where man has survived but the idea of “civilisation” seems to be rapidly crumbling, a character named Vindici sets out to take revenge after his wife was killed on their wedding night. This is a wild and hugely original adaptation of a Jacobean play the like of which you will have never seen before - and which will live long in your memory.
