A new adaptation of Webster's Duchess of Malfi that highlighted the modern resonances of an amoral society in which the drives and desires of powerful individuals run unchecked and lead to disastrous ends.
… presented in a highly physical style, imaginatively combining text and movement with fire, oil barrels and song, this is a universal tale which carries as poignant a message now as when it was first performed… you have to admire the performance of the actors who had such a perfect mastery of their text and their roles. Bravo, as well, for the spectacular final scene.
