"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.'

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'

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