CBC Radio : Here and Now : The Five Vengeances

The final play of the CrossCurrents Festival is Jovanni Sy’s The Five Vengeances, staging on Sunday at Factory Studio Theatre.

In a corrupt kingdom in a distant time, a woman seeks revenge for the murder of her lover…with some old-school kung fu. A hilarious modern take on the classic Jacobean play, The Revenger’s Tragedy and told in the style of a kung-fu movie, this play promises to provoke, arouse and entertain all in one. With fury taking the lead, you’d better watch out for The Five Vengeances. Let’s not forget the first cast of The Five Vengeances, students from Humber College, who will demonstrate the power of Fury’s lines and their own nimble fighting skills, while Jovanni reads the introduction to his literally kick-ass piece.
