The Duchess
of Malfi
Saturday 11th January 2020, a
group of enthusiastic year 13
English Literature students took time out
of their revision schedule to set out to
Islington, to the Almeida theatre to
watch The Duchess of Malfi.
This compelling play
explores the themes
of forbidden love,
corruption, power and
deceit. As it is a set
text on the A Level
specification, we had the opportunity to engage
in an active form of revision by consolidating our
understanding of the production. Having already
watched an interpretation of the play in class, we were
able to witness this exceptional piece of literature
come to life! Originally set in the 17th century, this
performance offered its own 21st century twist, with
some remarkable directorial choices. The production
was one of high quality which kept us captivated from
at the Almeida Theatre
the very outset at the sight of a large glass
box on the stage right to the bloodbath
of the last act. The play was entwined
with tragedy, humour and definite ‘wow’
moments. There was an amazing
atmosphere in the theatre and it
was an all in all remarkable
experience.
The year 13 students left
the production feeling
confident of having
enriched their knowledge of the play and definitely
ready to tackle the mock exam in the days that
followed. We were very privileged to have watched
such an amazing production and are very grateful to
Ms Brooks who gave up her time to spend the day with
us, as well as thoroughly supporting us throughout our
A Level course.
