Sommaire
Howard Brenton's Revenge (Royal Court, 1969) is a companion to his better-known Christie in Love, and portrays the revenge of the arch-criminal, Eastender Adam Hepple, on Assistant Commissioner of Police McLeish. The police and criminals are partial mirror images of one another, sharing moral ambiguity amid a Jacobean sense of a decadent and corrupt society – by the end of the play, everyone has died violently. The play's ethos is anarchist, and its sense of a decadent society suggests that past traditions and customary ways of thinking are effectively dead.
