ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

ENO and Punchdrunk are collaborating on an immersive new production of John Webster's dark masterpiece The Duchess of Malfi.

The production has been commissioned by ENO from composer Torsten Rasch, and will be performed at a mysterious vacant site at Great Eastern Quay in London’s Royal Albert Basin, Newham E16.

The production will be directed by Punchdrunk artistic director Felix Barrett, making his ENO debut, conducted by Stephen Higgins and featuring the ENO Orchestra and a cast of 17 performers. Punchdrunk Associate Director Maxine Doyle directs and choreographs alongside Barrett. The libretto by Ian Burton has been taken from John Webster’s celebrated seventeenth-century tragedy of love, incest and murder.
