Description

Globe on Screen: Featuring productions from London's historic Globe Theatre.

Playwright: John Webster (1580-1634)

Filmed entirely in candlelight, The Duchess of Malfi is an intimate Jacobean tragedy showcasing brilliant coups de théâtre, thrilling visuals and vivid characters—notably the tragic Duchess, played by Hollywood actress Gemma Arterton. The widowed Duchess of Malfi longs to marry her lover Antonio, but her rancorous brothers are opposed to the match. When their spy discovers the Duchess has secretly married and carries his child, they exact revenge.

Includes one 10-minute intermission.
