Set in the Italian Renaissance court of Amalfi, The Duchess Of Malfi is the murderous tale of a recently widowed Duchess who acts against the wishes of her brothers and secretly marries her lover setting in motion a tidal wave of vengeance. As jealousy, madness and bloodshed surround her, she retains a calm strength and dignity to the end.
Written in the early 1600s, The Duchess Of Malfi is considered a masterpiece for its poetry and early exploration of female courage in the face of male corruption.
Best, who leads the cast of The Duchess Of Malfi, most recently played Beatrice to critical acclaim in Shakespeare's Globe's 2011 production of Much Ado About Nothing. The British actress won an Olivier Award in 2006 for her performance as Hedda Gabler, both at the Almeida theatre and in the West End, but might be best known for playing the Duchess of Windsor in Oscar-winning film The King's Speech or Dr Eleanor O?Hara in hit US TV drama Nurse Jackie.
