This rarely staged Jacobean tragedy pits the hot-blooded violation of a shocking sexual taboo against the dirty machinations of a corrupt church and state. Starring Matt McGrath (Boys Don't Cry, Broadway's Cabaret) and set to the virtuosic, edgy stylings of cellist-singer Bonfire Madigan Shive, the result is passionate and poetic, violent and sardonic, and a classic that is mordantly fresh.
