Description

'The Duchess of Padua' is a five-act play, originally written for American actress, Mary Anderson (best known for her role in 'Gone with the Wind').

With themes of murder, suicide, love, and revenge, it has drawn comparisons with Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet.' The story follows Guido Ferranti, who is tasked to murder the Duke of Padua and avenge his dead father.

However, when Guido falls in love with the Duchess of Padua, he is conflicted.

Can the Duchess help or hinder him in his mission? A lyrical play, written in blank verse, this is one of Wilde's most intricate, full of twists and turns, and trademark Wildean wit.-
