About the Show

Lazarus Theatre Company's intimate new ensemble production of this English Renaissance tragedy.

De Flores will do just about anything for Beatrice Joanna. Beatrice Joanna is betrothed to a man she does not like. With the assistance of her servant De Flores - whom she finds disgusting - they dispose of the suitor, but when it comes to payment, De Flores wants more than money. They both descend into madness, haunted by ghosts and propelled by sex and obsession.

Ricky Dukes directs this production, which is recommended for ages 14+.

Dark, Raunchy, Great writing, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if your into dark plays or Shakespeare as some of the themes and quotes play from his work

Don't see it if you don't like themes of adultery or darkness or blood

Indulgent, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if you enjoy productions that favour style over content.

Don't see it if you want to see THE CHANGELING, 'cos this production omits half the play.

“We know that we don’t want to be in this hellish maze of chambers and corridors where murder lurks round every corner, but the terror is diluted because we never feel like we’re really there at all.”
