First performed by the King’s Men - Shakespeare’s own company - ‘privately at the Blackfriars and publicly at the Globe’, The Duchess of Malfi is a thrilling combination of brilliant coups de théâtre, horrific set-pieces and vivid characters - notably the tragic Duchess and the subtly villainous Bosola - all lit by Webster’s obsessional imagination. This most intimate Jacobean tragedy was the ideal curtain-raiser for our first season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
