Never Live Long in Cages

Adapted from Act IV of John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi, Never Live Long in Cages combines elements of ritual, electronic sound, and Jacobean language. On the verge of a psychotic breakdown, the principal character fo Bosola narrates his inner conflicts, which are translated into direct experiences for the audience. His tortured psyche takes the physical form of a group of madmen, while the Duchess floats in and out of his vision. Travis Chamberlain directs this production, which is part of the 5th annual New York International Fringe Festival.
