Resurgens reopens our doors this autumn with the first great revenge tragedy of the English stage, Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy! Easily one of the most popular and influential plays of the era, Kyd’s masterpiece creates a new genre for blood feud —filled with ghosts, murderers, and madmen—all composed in a soaring blank verse that sets the standard for the age. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, our “original practices” production revives the haunting sounds of this time-honored classic for the first-ever professional mounting in the Atlanta area.

All performances will be at our new venue, the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.) in Decatur, GA. Show dates are November 17-19 at 8:00 p.m., and November 20 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets only $20 ($15 for members of the DeKalb Historical Society), and are available online below or at the Box Office prior to the show. Special pre-show talk by Dr. Patrick McHenry, editor of the Broadview edition of the play (2016), on Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 p.m.
