One day not so long ago, a beautiful young woman was shot down in her wedding dress along with the entire party. Years later, she came back to exact her revenge by taking down everyone involved in the bloody massacre.

Sound familiar? In 2003 and 2004, Quentin Tarantino became a household name with the release of “Kill Bill” volumess 1 and 2. However, it is also the back story of Georgia Southern’s latest theater production, “Revenger’s Tragedy.”

“It has the same plot except the playwright, a professor in North Carolina, changed about half the characters in that original script from men to women. Because of that fact, we sort of took “Kill Bill” as an inspiration for how we are staging it and for our costumes and set,” said Jim Harbour, the director of the play.

“Revenger’s Tragedy” has a great production value. The play is set in a rundown church that was renovated as a night club. The stage is very dark and elaborate in detail. In addition, the stage is a thrust, extending into the middle of the floor with the audience seated on three sides.

The stage is divided into three sections, one in the center and two podiums in the corners, so the audience must look around to not miss anything.

“Revenger’s Tragedy” also has a very colorful cast of characters. The main protagonist is Vi, the equivalent of Beatrix Kiddo from “Kill Bill.” Her main adversary, The Duke, who was the basis for Bill, is played by Stephen Derengowski.

The cast also features the Duke’s children and wife, a news crew, and Vi’s family. Each character is uniquely built and memorable.

Be warned, this play is designed for a mature audience. “The script is filled with adult language,” said Harbour, “so we decided, in terms of all the violence, to go a little more graphic and a little more extreme in terms of the use of blood.”

The play also features very dark humor, which settles the gore and intensity. The costuming is supposed to feature articles like fishnets and bustiers to match the setting’s nightclub atmosphere.

“Revenger’s Tragedy” promises to be a very intense, very entertaining show to finish the theater’s fall season. Just watch out for spewing blood, backstabbing and plot twists.

Tickets cost $5 for GSU students and $10 for faculty and staff. The show premieres tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. in the Center for Art and Theater.
