Risultati di "John Webster" in Tutte le categorie

One of the great Jacobean playwrights and a contemporary of William Shakespeare, John Webster is best known for his classic revenge tragedies based on real events in Renaissance Italy, The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil. Both are included here, along with two insightful programmes putting the plays in their historical context and probing the life of their mysterious author - a shadowy character about whom very little is known.

John Websters gripping Jacobean tragedy unveils the dark underbelly of the Italian court. The virtuous Duchess of Malfi, a young widow, dares to marry her devoted steward Antonio in secret, only to face relentless persecution from her power-hungry brothers the dangerously obsessive Ferdinand, who spirals into madness, and the corrupt Cardinal. In a tale woven with themes of ambition, betrayal, and the struggle for agency, the Duchesss fate hangs in the balance. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
