The Malcontent
5112 Lankershim Blvd. Los Angeles
Marston's viciously funny Jacobean masterpiece. The true Duke of Genoa has lost his throne to the usurper Pietro. The Duke returns to court the disguise of Malevole: a professional cynic who castigates the corruptions of the greedy, sex-mad, politically fickle court, to regain his rightful office (and his wife!) Resonating with echos of MEASURE FOR MEASURE and HAMLET, Marston's tragicomedy is a fabulous study of intrigue, lust and betrayal.
