"I account this world a tedious theatre,
For I do play a part in't 'gainst my will."

Off to London today to see #DuchessOfMalfi at the theatre. I was really excited but the reviews ain’t great… hoping it’s better than they say.

#duchessofmalfi was good fun. The play gets a bit 'go-home-tragedy-you're-drunk' by the end, but it's a lovely production.

'How you doing?'

'Been stabbed - you?'

'TELL ME ABOUT IT.'

#duchessofmalfi

'Your brothers have sent you a present.'

'Is it something f*cked-up?'

'Well, to be honest...'

#duchessofmalfi

'Your brother got this bunch of mentally-ill folks to hang out with you. No one really knows what he thinks he's up to.'

#duchessofmalfi

'What's that awful noise?'

'The after-effects of your brother being a c*nt (see previous tweet).'

#duchessofmalfi

'Why would you make wax dummies of your sister's dead husband and son and show them to her?'

'I'm a c*nt. Obviously.'

#duchessofmalfi

ALRIGHT, ANDREW MARR, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME DARKNESS, CHILL OUT, WE GET IT. #duchessofmalfi

Webster was *very* pleased with that fish analogy, wasn't he? #duchessofmalfi

I'm not sure I'd want my last words to my child to be 'thank god you don't know how screwed you are'. #duchessofmalfi

There's a lot of Blackadder about Bosola. #duchessofmalfi

'I'd sooner swim to the Bermudas on two politicians' rotten bladders.'

Cracking stuff. #duchessofmalfi

'My brother crept into my room, threatened me and left me a big knife. It's fair to say he's disappointed.'

#duchessofmalfi

'I lie with her often and I know she'll much disquiet you.'

I hope one day I will have half as much fun at work as the stagehand who gets to move the candleabra up and down. #duchessofmalfi

I swear Gemma Arterton's ruff is getting progressively bigger.

'Let him in - I'll withdraw'

The Cardinal *was* enjoying that liaison, wasn't he?

#duchessofmalfi

Not exactly brilliant strategy from a Duchess surrounded by danger and intrigue to hook up with the Court Weeny. #duchessofmalfi

That's very much a 'NOT PREGNANT, NUH-UH, NOTHING TO SEE HERE' kind of dress. #duchessofmalfi

Idea for a #duchessofmalfi drinking game: one drink whenever someone passes the Duchess on the left-hand side.

Those of you who like happy endings might want to switch off now, it's all downhill from here... #duchessofmalfi

Fair play, #duchessofmalfi is heartily disproving the general principle that theatre looks rubbish on film.

'Actually, stick around and hide behind the arras, no harm ever came of that'

#duchessofmalfi

Is it compulsory to style all cardinals after Tim Curry in 'The Three Musketeers' (1993)? #duchessofmalfi http://t.co/vx20ZXJVlm
