Ferdinand (David Dawson) is enraged to hear that his sister, the Duchess, is pregnant with her steward Antonio's child. From Act II, scene 5 of John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, performed in our Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

First performed by the King’s Men – Shakespeare’s own company – ‘privately at the Blackfriars and publicly at the Globe’, The Duchess of Malfi is a thrilling combination of brilliant coups de théâtre, horrific set-pieces and vivid characters – notably the tragic Duchess and the subtly villainous Bosola – all lit by Webster’s obsessional imagination. This most intimate Jacobean tragedy was the ideal curtain-raiser for our first season in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
