극단 적 '복수자의 비극' 공연 -> Theater Troupe's Performance of 'The Tragedy of the Avenger'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The theater company Jeokdan will perform "The Revenger's Tragedy" at the Daehangno Arts Theater Small Theater from the 21st to the 30th.

"The Revenger's Tragedy" is an intriguing work due to its plot, characters' actions, and language being similar to Hamlet. Written by 16th-century English playwright Thomas Middleton, it is regarded as a sequel to Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Since the 1960s, it has been actively performed in Western theater circles, and this will be its first performance in Korea.

The protagonist Vindice dreams of avenging the duke, the ruler of the country. Nine years ago, Vindice's fianc? was poisoned after rejecting the duke's advances. Vindice infiltrates the palace and uncovers the tangled relationships among the duke, the duchess, the duke's legitimate son and illegitimate son, and the duchess's son, carrying out revenge one by one.

The theater company Jeokdan plans to perform "The Tragedy of Hamlet" next year following "The Revenger's Tragedy."
