Women, Beware the Devil | Almeida Theatre, London

Join Dubheasa Lanipekun, Assistant Director on Women, Beware the Devil, for a practical insight into directing. This workshop will allow you to use the text of the play to explore approaches to working on new writing and develop your own craft as a director. Raczka is a bold and brilliant playwright whose previous work shows risk-taking. Maybe this is a risk too far. If it is a failure, it is a heroic one, performing the rare feat of leaving this critic impressed, exasperated but temporarily speechless. What just happened? On Thu 16 Mar we will be holding a variety of free workshops and events for those aged 25 and under, including a free performance of Women, Beware the Devil. Part pastiche, part romp, part historical treatise, it’s exhilarating and confounding. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered.For the Almeida: A Streetcar Named Desire (West End); Romeo and Juliet; The Duchess of Malfi; Machinal; Summer and Smoke.

Women Beware The Devil, Almeida Theatre, Islington Review: Women Beware The Devil, Almeida Theatre, Islington

Raczka’s play is both enjoyably daft and disarmingly deep. It very much leans into the campness of the Jacobean revenge thriller – the name is an obvious allusion to Middleton’s ‘Women Beware Women’– but is frequently overtly comic, with copious knowing fourth-wall-breaking and a magnificently silly performance from Bill as Edward, the beef-obsessed, responsibility-resistant product of generations of inbreeding. Television includes: October Faction; The Stranger; There S he Goes; Sex Education; Ride Out; My Insta Scammer Friend.Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? England, 1640. A war is brewing. Rumours are flying. A household is in crisis... and the Devil's having some fun. For Lady Elizabeth, nothing is more important than protecting her family's legacy and their ancestral home. When that comes under threat, she elicits the help of Agnes, a young servant suspected of witchcraft. But Agnes has dark dreams of her own for this house.

Lloyd Evans Cumbersome muddle: Women, Beware the Devil, at the Almeida Theatre, reviewed Plus: at Hampstead Theatre yet another long, screechy mess from a cheerless apprentice writer So, Raczka does indeed locate her drama in the past, 1640, and the eve of the English Civil War, though her richly conceived, daring, larking, fascinating oddity of a play resonates strongly with a Britain which continues to be stymied by tradition, elitism and a monarchy that just won’t go away; while witchcraft and domestic power struggles dominate the action, the subtext is a dialectic between the impulses for revolution and the status quo that the country has never resolved.
