The Duchess of Malfi, abridged and adapted for Year 13 Drama
When: Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 June
Where: H1
What: The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster, abridged and adapted for Year 13 Drama
The young Duchess of Malfi faces the cruel and irrational anger of her domineering brothers, Ferdinand and the Cardinal, when she dares to marry for love. Forced to hide her relationship with her husband (her steward Antonio), the Duchess’ days are numbered when she becomes pregnant and court spy, Bosola, discovers the truth. The tragedy of the Duchess and her family is a warning to those who seek to control and possess the female body, and one which still holds relevance today. This production is highly stylised, with minimal set and costume and with almost all the cast taking turns at playing the Duchess.
Entry is by gold coin donation. Please register your attendance as space is limited.
