The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd Abridged and adapted by Pauline Harris and Emma Smith Spain is in the middle of a peace treaty with Portugal, when Marshall Hieronimo is forced down a brutal path of vengeance from which there is no return. This bold and visceral adaptation is intercut with contemporary music in this new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Audio Drama production. It powerfully explores the morality of revenge, the stages of grief, and violence, and the poetry of extreme emotion.
