About the play: The Duchess asserts her freedom of choice to marry whom she pleases, even if her beloved
Antonio is “beneath her class.” Her brothers retaliate in protest and send their henchman, Bosola, to keep an eye
on the Duchess. The result: a tragedy full of complex players, destruction, violence, greed, secrets,
madness, murders, double crosses, poison, treachery, and good old-fashioned aristocratic revenge.
Notoriously one of the greatest blood baths of the stage, this Jacobean drama is reimagined by Lavina Jadhwani,
MFA Directing, Class of 2015.
