The upcoming West End production of The Duchess (Of Malfi) has announced additional casting.
As previously announced the play is set to star Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who/ Broadchurch) who makes her return to the stage for the first time in over a decade. Whittaker will be joined by Joel Fry, Rory Fleck Byrne, Jude Owusu, Elizabeth Ayodele, Hubert Burton, Matti Houghton, Hannah Visocchi, Kerill Kelly, Greg Snowden, and Amy Vicary-Smith with further casting yet to be announced.
Directed and adapted by award-winning Zinnie Harris, this production of John Webster’s thrilling drama is said to reinvent the play in a compelling way.
The play follows the story of a recently widowed Duchess who defies her family’s wishes by remarrying beneath her class. When her brothers discover the marriage they unleash a series of cruel punishments against her.
This contemporary adaptation of The Duchess of Malfi will play at the Trafalgar Theatre for 11 weeks only from 5 October to 20 December 2024.
