Présentation de l'éditeur :
John Webster's shocking play depicts the revenge-driven murder of the Italian noblewoman Vittoria Accoramboni. The White Devil holds a poignant and suspenseful tone which is riveting to this day.
Written about three decades after Vittoria's murder took place, we find the characters of the Italian families involved brought to life upon the stage. Webster keenly researched the events leading to the killing, which had become synonymous with the bitter family feuds for which Italy in particular was notorious.
The play itself is set between Rome and Padua, and features both the nobility of Italy such as Monticelso (a Cardinal who later becomes Pope) and Francisco De Medici, who participates in disguise. As the passions of the characters intertwine and blood rises, the tension skilfully woven by Webster crescendos until we are led to the final, dramatic catharsis.
Considered a worthy rival to William Shakespeare in life, John Webster's plays are renowned for their apt use of suspense and pointed yet believable dialog. The White Devil premiered at the Red Bull Theatre in Clerkenwell during 1612. Since its original staging it has enjoyed many productions on both stage and radio, as well as much scholarly discussion.
