“Atmospheric…diabolically convincing…flashes of fiery poetry…directed with laudable clarity by Elizabeth Freestone.” Time Out
This frightening and savage production proves why the play is considered one of the greatest achievements of English drama.
“The best spoken, most intelligently staged and thrillingly effective Malfi I’ve seen in years.” The Stage
Often hailed as the best comedy of manners in English, this play has been a crowd-pleaser for centuries. Using the full text, this effervescent, hilarious, and beautifully staged production moves at high speed, challenging the audience to keep up with the intricately wrought and brilliant comedy of Sheridan’s masterpiece.
“It is a delight! A production to relish . . . you know this is going to be fun.” British Theatre Guide
Volpone has long been a popular choice as a set text for students. Volpone, a rich libertine and conman, and Mosca, his self-seeking servant, cause chaos with an audacious fraud designed to part the city’s wealthiest from their fortunes. One of the finest of Jacobean comedies, this brilliantly staged production is a merciless satire of greed and lust.
“a delicious double act, Bremmer (Volpone) snuffling with mirth into his ginger furs as Hadfield’s Mosca makes boobies of the avaricious hypocrites with easy wit.” The Times
