I don’t think I’ve seen a more-serious play like this since I was in high school. The Duchess is based on The Duchess of Malfi, a 1623 play by a Shakespeare contemporary: John Webster. Really really dark.
This play reimagines the setting into the 1950s, but most of the dialogue is preserved. The Trafalgar Theatre is a small intimate venue and I might have been fangirling a little at getting to see Jodie Whittaker perform live.
The theater is adjacent to Trafalgar Square, it was cool to walk around it at sunset just before the show.
