Early Modern Soap in Bromley

The Duchess of Malfi
Bromley Little Theatre
Directed by Pauline Armour
Friday, 18th - Saturday, 26th May 2007
A beautiful young widow, her two villainous brothers, a mystery lover, a treacherous spy, a wanton seductress - intrigue, lust, horror, madness and murder...

An episode of Desperate Housewives, Dynasty, Coronation Street or Eastenders?... No... The Duchess of Malfi, written by the acclaimed Jacobean playwright John Webster, in 1612.

N.B. Bromley Little Theatre is a private Club Theatre with a licensed members’ bar and audiences are required to be members of the theatre or accompanied guests; bookings can be made only by members.

[I've always thought
Desperate Housewives was more Jonsonian, meself...]
