The Duchess of Padua, by Oscar Wilde, is a verse tragedy set in the sixteenth century. Somehow it seems to have slipped through the cracks, and it's time it had the opportunity to live and breathe again.

This is an outstanding verse play, both accessible and passionate. Directed by Rafe Beckley (Hans Christian Andersen's Dark Tales and Kitty and Damnation, both for Giant Olive), the focus will be on the primacy of the text, and on creating realistic, truthful performances.
