Thomas Middleton's 1609 satiric tragedy The Revenger's Tragedy, as the title suggests, deals with revenge, as well as wider themes including material consumption, institutional corruption, and defining characteristics of human depravity. This scenographic design thesis deals with the themes of the play through costume, set, and lighting. Costumes explore the satiric human depravity by abstracting the characters faces and putting the costume of historic figures on their head. Scenic elements explore the institutional corruption, specifically judicial corruption, and the lighting elements define and highlight those themes. Supplementary materials include costume renderings, costume plots, costume list, scenic renderings, scenic draftings, scenic paint breakdown, light story board, light plot, magic sheet, dimmer hook-up, color cut list, and instrument schedule.
