003 A Woman, Her Husband, Her Brother and A Priest: John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi
An excursion away from Shakespeare to the next generation of English drama. Considered one of the greatest dramatists of the English language, John Webster's masterpiece is a dark tragedy about love, prejudice, gender and resilience.
