The Duchess of Malfi

[notnowImreading]

Quite excited. Is anyone else watching?

No, but thanks for the heads up. Better be on iplayer later!

Yes it's getting dramatic. Bit scary.

Pleased they are showing an actual play in total. Well done BBC.

Really looking forward to watching this in the new playhouse. Am still amazed they managed to get planning permission for a candle-lit theatre!

Would be great live. It looks very intimate.

Loved it. The Cardinal was brilliant, and Julia.

I missed this, will it be on iPlayer? Who was in it?

Gemma Arterton. All the main parts very good for theatre that's also being filmed close up. Difficult to pull off.

Lots of atmosphere conveyed by the director, even on the small screen.

iPlayer link - whoop!

Thanks for the iPlayer link. I must find the opportunity to watch it. I rather like Sean Gilder, the actor playing Bosola. was he good in this?

Thanks! Will watch it asap!

I never even heard about this! But I never watch live tv which might explain that. Will watch it at the weekend. I loved this play at school.
