About the production.

A forbidden marriage. A hidden family. A dangerous web of secrets and lies. Ten years after it opened the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, John Webster’s violent tale of misogyny and deceit returns in a ground-breaking anniversary production directed by Rachel Bagshaw (Midnight Movie, Royal Court).
