The Revenger's Tragedy Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

R

Very definitely R. This play is full of sex—people talk about it, have it, complain about other people having it, joke about it, and kill over it. It's a big driver of the action.

On top of that, the play addresses major taboos like sexual assault and incest, in a way that's often pretty troubling to modern sensibilities. If this were a movie, you'd have to dig out your driver's license to see it.
