This mesmerizing Jacobean explores human vengeance and animal desire in a suspenseful power-seeking plot that will mesmerize the audience with a plethora of plot twists and violence. This action-packed play, which reworks the story of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," will be staged by CSU, Chico's Department of Theatre at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday, Nov. 12, and at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 and Sunday, Nov. 13, in Wismer The- atre. Jesse Berger freely adapts the new version of this classical work from an original text more than 400 years old. It is full of complex text and incorpo- rates material from the writings of Francis Bacon, John Donne, Thomas Kyd, John Marston, William Shake- speare, and John Webster. "The Revenger's Tragedy" is a fascinating story that has challenging aspects for theatre students in staging, design and performance, noted direc- tor Katie Whitlock, Department of thriller, written a few years after "Hamlet," "is a searing examination of humankind's social need for justice and our natural desire for vengeance," said Whitlock. Vindice, the "Revenger," sets off a chain reaction of havoc in a corrupt and decadent Venice, which exposes outrageous indulgences and govern- ment hypocrisy, and ends in a coup- de-theatre massacre of epic propor- tions. Part black comedy, part social satire, "The Revenger's Tragedy" is a gleefully macabre plot-twisting blender full of Shakespeare's greatest hits. It comes with an adult content warning for mature situations and violence. This work was originally per- formed in 1606 and has had signifi- cant controversy over the authorship. It shows heavy influences from Shakespeare and Kyd while having a unique take on violence and power. "The Revenger's Tragedy" is usually credited to Thomas Middleton, some- times to Cyril Tourner, and there are even some versions accredited to "Anonymous." "The play is considered one of the best examples of a 'revenge tragedy,' which was a popular genre in the Renaissance and the Jacobean era," noted Whitlock. CSU, Chico's version of the "The Revenger's Tragedy" has been con- temporized to make it more appealing to modern audiences. Action takes place in a club frequented by the wealthy. "The Revenger's Tragedy" has mature subject matter. The play opens with an act of sexual violence and escalates from that point. It also has one of the more gruesome death scenes and one of the largest body counts in theatre history. Advance tickets, at $15 general, $13 senior citizens, and $6 stu- dents/children, are available at the University Box Office, 898-6333. For special needs seating call the Univer- sity Box Office.

Daddy revived big band music in the '90s by giv- ing the swing music of the '40s and '50s a healthy dose of youthful energy. Formed in Los Ange- les in 1992, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy quickly built a following by playing regularly on the local lounge circuit to Gen-Xers enamored with the kitschy charm of the cocktail nation. In the mid-'90s, the Los Angeles septet first gained mainstream pop- ularity and kicked off the swing revival with their breakthrough appearance in the film "Swingers." They began touring ferociously, delivering killer shows night after night that included Rat Pack lingo and zoot suit flair. The chemistry between the band members, like the success that soon fol- lowed, was evident. Carrying on in the tra- dition of the legendary big bands and orchestras like the Glen Miller Orchestra, Benny Good- man, and the Count Basie Big Band; Big Bad Voodoo Daddy performs hundreds of concerts each year. Their energetic per- formances sell out shows to enthusiastic audiences of all ages in cities around the world. As committed to their music as the swing era lifestyle, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is not only known for their impeccable perfor- mances, but for their clas- sic suit and fedora styling and gentlemanly demeanor. Their fans span generations, filling concert halls around the country for shows that transport audiences back to a more wholesome, optimistic time.
