:''This article is about the play. For the film, see Revengers Tragedy.'' ''The Revenger's Tragedy'' is an English language, Jacobean revenge tragedy, formerly attributed to Cyril Tourneur but now generally recognized as the work of Thomas Middleton. It was performed in 1606, and published in 1607 by George Eld. A vivid and often violent portrayal of lust and ambition in an Italian court, the play typifies the satiric tone and cynicism of much Jacobean tragedy. The play fell out of favor at some point before the restoration of the theaters in 1660; however, it experienced a revival in the twentieth century among directors and playgoers who appreciated its affinity with the temper of modern times.〔Wells, p. 106〕 ==Characters== *Vindice, the revenger, frequently disguised as Piato (both the 1607 and 1608 printings render his name variously as Vendici, Vindici and Vindice, with the latter spelling most frequent). *Hippolito, Vindice's brother, sometimes called Carlo. *Castiza, their sister. *Gratiana, a widow, mother of Vindice, Hippolito, and Castiza. *The Duke. *The Duchess, the duke's second wife. *Lussurioso, the duke's son from an earlier marriage, and his heir. *Spurio, the duke's second son, a bastard. *Ambitioso, the duchess's first son. *Supervacuo, the duchess's middle son. *Junior Brother, the duchess's third son. *Antonio, a discontented lord at the Duke's court. *Antonio's wife, raped by Junior Brother *Piero, a discontented lord at the Duke's court. *Nobles, allies of Lussurioso. *Lords, followers of Antonio. *The Duke's gentlemen. *Two Judges. *Spurio's two Servants. *Four Officers. *A Prison-Keeper. *Dondolo, Castiza's servant. *Nencio and Sordido, Lussurioso's servants. *Ambitioso's henchman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Revenger's Tragedy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
