Arden of Faversham Tickets

It’s Valentine’s Day and Alice Arden wants her husband dead. He’s come into money and all she can think about is her lover, Mosby. So, the pair enter into a pact to murder Arden and engage a cluster of killers to do the deed. If only they weren’t so spectacularly inept. Inspired by actual events, this sexy thriller of unknown authorship – some say, Shakespeare – is a bloody, darkly comic Elizabethan noir.

Arden of Faversham one of the English-speaking theater’s first true-crime stories. Darkly comic–with a shocking ending–it’s MACBETH meets DOUBLE INDEMNITY meets FARGO. And it features one of the strongest and most mercurial female protagonists in Elizabethan drama, whose wit and passions drive the action.
