Revengers Tragedy is a film version of the play The Revenger's Tragedy by Thomas Middleton (or perhaps Cyril Tourneur), first published anonymously in 1606. It was directed by Alex Cox and adapted for the screen by Cox's fellow Liverpudilan, Frank Cottrell Boyce.
The movie stars Christopher Eccleston as Vindici, Eddie Izzard as Lussurioso, Derek Jacobi as the Duke, Diana Quick as the Duchess, Andrew Schofield as Carlo, Carla Henry as Castiza, Marc Warren as Supervacuo and Justin Salinger as Ambitioso.
Revengers Tragedy was shot and edited in Liverpool with an almost entirely local crew, including cinematographer Len Gowing, costumer Monica Aslanian, makeup designer Lesley Brennan and assistant director Kim Ryan. Cox's traditional production designer, Cecilia Montiel, prepared a visual strategy which was executed by her co-designer Remi Vaughan-Richards.
Cottrell Boyce's script mixes the original Jacobean language with modern asides and sets Middleton's story in the year 2011, in the aftermath of a natural disaster which has destroyed the southern half of Great Britain - a dystopia in which society is collapsing and where vendettas and the crude exercise of power are the norm.
The movie's soundtrack was written and performed by Chumbawamba.
