The Duchess (Of Malfi) reframes the action to push the violent actions of men to the fore, exploring the depths of the patriarchy against female resistance, in this intelligent and provocative contemporary reworking of Johnson’s classic drama.
Jodie Whittaker is returning to the London stage for the first time in 10 years. She was the first woman to play Doctor Who in the BBC’s hit sci-fi series, and her other TV credits include Toxic Tom (Netflix), Time (BBC), One Night (Paramount+), Trust Me (BBC), Broadchurch (ITV), Black Mirror (Netflix), The Smoke (Sky One), and The Assets (ABC).
Jodie’s film credits includes Journeyman, Venus, Adult Life Skills, Black Sea and Attack The Block.
The Duchess is playing at the Trafalgar Theatre for 11 weeks only from 5 October to 20 December 2024.
