It’s now been just over a week since ‘Duchess of Malfi’ at closed! The creative team worked together to create a spectacle on stage. The shrine was created by the set and costume designer with help from the Assistant Stage Managers and lighting was used through out the show to enhance the performance. My Favourite was during the Duchess’ death! (Also just look at the costumes!!)

First day of tech done on “Duchess of Malfi”, a very weapon heavy show! The tech team worked super hard today and it went really smoothly! GO TEAM⭐️

‘Duchess of Malfi’ has their first rehearsal today! The SM team are busy in rehearsals and looking through the props store at
