Recently widowed and in search for a new lease of life, the Duchess (Whittaker) defies her family’s wishes by remarrying beneath her class. However, when her brothers, driven by insurmountable greed and rage, discover her second marriage they unleash a series of cruel and devastating punishments against her that repress her power. But will their vicious atrocities come back to haunt them?

Directed and adapted by award-winning Zinnie Harris (Macbeth (an undoing)), this “towering adaptation” (The Stage) of John Webster’s thrilling drama The Duchess of Malfi explores the depths of the patriarchy against female resistance.

A bloody revenge tragedy made marvelously modern

The Grade II listed Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End, formerly known as Trafalgar Studios, is the result of a major multi-million pound restoration project. Reinstating the venue back to its original design to show off its spectacular auditorium once again, the theatre boasts brand new seating, bar and spacious foyer.

The Trafalgar Theatre opened in 1930 as the Whitehall Theatre and has retained its recognisable Art Deco style exterior ever since. In 1997 it became a television and radio studio, broadcasting BBC Radio 4 shows. Now a thriving theatre once again, it’s home to the hit West End show, People, Places and Things.
