Masque of Vengeance ~ Marylebone, London


  • The Cockpit Gateforth Street London, England, NW8 United Kingdom (map)

"If a revenger's wish might stand in force,
Would all those there were turned into a corpse!"

We’re in a dystopian underworld of criminality, lust and murder. Vindicio is a young man played by a woman who, for much of the play, disguises himself as a woman. And that’s just the start. He has with him the death mask of his fiancée whom the King raped and murdered; he seeks revenge, but is intercepted by the King’s son, the Prince, who wants to bed Vindicio’s sister. So begins this deadly battle of wits which is over 400 years old - but which is a timeless indictment of corruption and evil in the corridors of power.
