THE WITCH OF EDMONTON
A full production of this Jacobean masterpiece, directed by Jesse Berger. Red Bull Theater presents the premiere production of The Witch of Edmonton On or Off Broadway. In a new adaptation of the original play by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford, this rarely-performed classic tragicomedy explores the nature of evil and the power of community (for both good and bad) in a small town outside of London. Featuring a cameo appearance of the devil in the shape of a dog, Red Bull Theater’s upcoming production will offer New York theater-goers the chance to experience this fascinating, strange, funny, frightening, and disturbingly timely tale, starting performances on January 25, 2011, at the Theater at St Clement’s.

ABOUT THE PLAY
A great romance turns to horror as the Duchess of Malfi seeks true love in a world of forbidden passions. A play for our time as much as its own, John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi examines sexual repression, honor, class, and the true value of the human spirit, in this explosive drama of Italian intrigue. Red Bull Theater’s production is the first Off Broadway revival of this Jacobean masterpiece in over 50 years. Don’t miss it!
