The Duchess of Malfi

Hello Reliefators!

"If thou do love him, cut out thine own tongue
Lest it betray him."

400 years after its first performance, Relief Theatre is proud to bring this tale of love, duty, and betrayal to the stage once more, with an exciting new production!

Forbidden on pain of death to marry again by her incestuous brothers, the young widowed Duchess of Malfi is forced to conceal her illicit relationship with her steward, Antonio. Life at court is claustrophobic and perilous, with the couple's every move monitored and each act of betrayal bringing her brothers ever closer to discovering her secret.


This play will be performed at Augustine United Church from 26th-28th March at 7:30pm, tickets are available at the below link. Hope to see you there!

Opportunities - Upcoming Shorts & Bloomers

Wake up Reliefators!

The summer's coming to a close, and whether this makes you giddy with joy at returning to a full year of theatre, or crushed by sadness that the vacation is ending, we have some happy news for you. 
There are two Shorts and Bloomers happening at the beginning of this academic year!
The first will take place at Bedlam Theatre as part of our friends', the EUTC, Freshers' Week Festival. It is from 5:15pm-6:15pm on Friday 13 September. This will be a sort of demonstration of what Shorts and Bloomers is about, and will be a jam packed hour of fun.

The second will be in the Cabaret Bar at Pleasance on the 20th of September, from around 7.30.

Shorts and Bloomers is a sort of scratch night we do in collaboration with Theatre Paradok, where anyone can try out a performance of any kind they have been working on.

Let us know if you fancy performing, or need help getting an idea into physical form! As always, you can contact us at relieftheatre@gmail.com!

Looking forward to seeing everyone once more!
