Director: Rachel Bagshaw; Written by: John Webster; John Webster's violent tale of misogyny and deceit is back at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Theatre for a two-month run.

When the recently widowed Duchess falls in love with her steward, her brothers (who are eager to keep her under their control) try and convince her not to remarry.

Set in a male-dominated world, The Duchess of Malfi explores how far a woman has to go to protect those she loves... and what desperate measures men will take to keep control of the story.
