Revenge tragedies aren't traditionally known for their humor, but this farcical take on the genre features a hero oblivious to the fact that he is the only person rhapsodizing in iambic pentameter. With the help of a reluctant and unreliable friend, he sets about avenging his father's death, pursuing two women, and protecting his sister's honor, all while spouting flowery phrases of love, duty, and loss.
