Trivia / The Revenger's Tragedy

• All-Star Cast: The 2002 film version has Christopher Eccleston as Vindice, Eddie Izzard as Lussorioso, and Derek Jacobi as the Duke.
• Reality Subtext: Since this play came out during the reign of James I, but the author is clearly looking back toward the days of Elizabeth I, there are lots of references to women's virginity ("The Virgin Queen"), and anti-royal sentiments. (Not to mention that the name "Gloriana" was commonly used to refer to Elizabeth I in the poetry of her time.)
