Anyone familiar with this director's work? What can we expect?

So this fitted in nicely with my week in London for Macbeth.

Jodie Whittaker doing theatre for the first time in 12 years is an exciting prospect. We're going to be in a weird situation where three Doctor Who actors are doing theatre around the same time.

Hmmm. £7 in additional charges for booking two tickets via ATG even as a member. What't the point of ATG running ticketing for this venue if they don't get them to sign up to ATG+ benefits? Just guaranteed to get the backs up of those of us who fork out for membership.

Just guaranteed to get the backs up of those of us who fork out for membership. £3.50 for me for two tickets. I had to call as my booking had a technical issue, the lady I spoke to described Trafalgar as 'awkward' and said it was the only venue that charged the transaction fee, clearly something she'd come across before. |

The Donmar had a long period where ATG handled their ticketing as well. There's no point moaning to ATG since they don't run the venue. |

Sorry, you're right. My mistake. It is per transaction, not per ticket. Still annoying though. |

Found out the reason, she's at New York Comic Con on the 19th October. I'm assuming it's a commitment she couldn't back out of although given how much money can be made, maybe she didn't want to back out. |

I noticed that it's been retitled The Duchess (of Malfi) I wonder if it's an attempt to boost ticket sales which weren't too hot.

In case people thought it was an adaptation of The Duchess (Of Duke Street)?
(Joke there for the kids in the house)

It is misogyny par excellence and a very tough watch imo. Ive seen a few productions but I wouldn’t bother again. Tbh for me it simply shows how theatre degenerated after Shakespeare into the kind of thing we should keep our kids away from on the internet. Sorreeeee

Sorreeeee It is one of the greatest of the Jacobean plays with startling and brilliant verse and great parts for actors. It is far superior to Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus which is going to come with a trigger warning as long as your arm. And what about those misogynist classics Taming of the Shrew and Troilus and Cressida ? |

And what about those misogynist classics Taming of the Shrew and Troilus and Cressida ? I find the werewolf strand and the neverending series of gruesome deaths in the final act rather tiresome. It is just too easy for modern audiences to laugh at Act 5. I would absolutely prefer to watch any of the Shakespeare plays you cited than another version of Malfi |
