More Details
- Summary:
- The Duchess of Malfi is recently widowed and her greedy brothers are determined she will not marry again, so they employ Daniel De Bosola, a murderer in their pay to spy on her. He fails and most of the cast pay for the brothers' plotting. One of the great revenge tragedies based on a true story, though John Webster, the playwright, probably didn't know this. Who would believe so much mayhem could happen, five hundred years before the Godfather? This performance of The Duchess of Malfi from BBC's Stage 2 TV series was directed by James MacTaggart and was recorded at Chastleton House in Oxfordshire, England.
