The White Devil

In John Webster’s The White Devil, a woman stands accused of being unfaithful. Webster’s exotic and sensational story is a tale of bloody revenge, money, and power gained by ambition, blood and lust — a story we none of us can resist? Murder suspect put on trial. Madness, passion, infidelity. Can you trust your own brother? Husband and mistress in torrid affair. Was her only crime to fall in love with a rich man? Brother and sister in suicide pact attempt. Intrigue, deception, passion, murder and betrayal charts the play’s spiralling journey to damnation. Is she a woman wronged? An innocent pawn in a game of power? Saint or sinner?
