The Duchess of Malfi: It's 1981. The world watches the Duchess, young, iconic and recently widowed. The Press see her as public property; her brother thinks her life belongs to him. Secretly marrying a second time, she hides a life of her own behind closed doors. But her twin's jealousy will prove her undoing.
This spare, tender adaptation of Webster's classic tragedy, by exciting new playwright Bryony Markwick, explores the gap between the twentieth century's apparent civilisation and the old cruelties buried beneath the surface.
