Synopsis
Highly influential, THE SPANISH TRAGEDIE was also one of the great popular sensations of the Elizabethan stage. Kyd invented the genre of the revenge tragedy, whose ghosts baying for blood, violent extremism and powerful rhetoric eventually led toHamlet. His 'Machiavellian' villain Lorenzo decisively influenced characters like Iago.
