Synopsis

Set against a world of status and inheritance, this dark tragedy centres on the secret marriage of a noblewoman and a commoner. Webster traces how ruthless schemes, driven by the desire for a wealthy sister’s title and estates, corrode the bonds of kinship and overwhelm tenderness and innocence.

The drama builds towards a bloody, horrifying climax, sustaining an atmosphere of menace as ambition tightens its grip. A focused choice for readers interested in drama and theatre.
