Double Falsehood stars two brave female protagonists Violante and Leonora and two contrasting leading men, Julio of honorable and modest birth, and Henriquez an aristocratic villain.
The story starts with Henriquez, heir to the Duke Angelo of Spain, as he exploits his social privilege to scheme his way around beautiful women, greedy fathers and honorable brotherhoods, resulting in a disturbing yet enlightening tale of self-repentance and discovery within family, honor, madness, lust and relationships.
First published in 1727 by Lewis Theobald Double Falsehood is one of Shakespeare & Fletcher's most obscure plays with much controversy pertaining to its origins and is rarely staged successfully. This will be the first public production of Double Falsehood in New York City in 5 years.
