SUMMARY:Revengers Tragedy
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Revengers Tragedy=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441606475=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-06-02=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-06-02=0D=0A=0D=0ALike Death and the Compass, Cox's other literary adaptation stars Christopher Eccleston and features a quite mannerist mise-en-scene, with production design by Cox's frequent collaborator Cecilia Montiel. The source material here is The Revenger's Tragedy, a Jacobean play from 1606 attributed to Thomas Middleton, and like so much English drama of its era, it is a bloody tale of lust and murder littered with corpses. Cox transplants it to a post-apocalyptic Liverpool in the distant future of 2011 where government surveillance satellites patrol the skies and media images are omnipresent.  The film's ironic stance towards its own gore is clearly a directorial strategy whereby Middleton's dark musings on the corrosive nature of power are updated to point out that the contemporary fascination with violence reveals a corruption stemming from the media and the state alike.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:9pm
