Last night I saw Duchess of Malfi, the second of the two plays running at the Greenwich- set in more modern times, it shows Webster's Jacobean classic in a more modern wartime setting. Fine set and strong, professional cast demonstrate the human failings still so relevant today- power leading to corruption, cruelty, madness and revenge. You will also find plenty to dwell on re disgraceful church leader, role of women in society, love, responsibilities in government et al; fine food for thought- Dickens would have approved, I'm sure.
These two classics will soon be recorded on dvd, so if you can't see them live, (which you should!)then do get the dvds, excellent for schools too, with teacher notes and subtitles included. Great effort by 'Stage On Screen' teaming up with the Greenwich- an exciting new format for presenting the classics. Their website is www.stageonscreen.com
