The Malcontent | John Marston

1 post | 3 read

A student edition of Marston's classic play The Malcontent is a tragicomedy deriving from the tradition of the revenge play. The verbal ingenuity of Malevole, the "malcontent", and the extravagance of the drama, push the relentlessness of intrigue to its logical conclusion, exposing the basically comic aspect of the genre. The conventional function of the climactic masque is inverted, leading to the essential resolution of the comedy. This edition comes with full commentary and notes, together with photos of Jonathan Miller's acclaimed 1973 production at the Nottingham Playhouse.

The Malcontent | John Marston

so-so

This play... was interesting. It had reminiscent of Hamlet, but it was confusing. I read a review online that stated that this play has no real climax and I have to agree. There are climaxes within the play but none gave me that moment of "OH!" or any moment of clarity or burst of emotion. This play was good, but I feel it could have been written differently.
