Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker is returning to the West End stage for the first time in a decade.

She will star in The Duchess, a modern-day adaptation of The Duchess of Malfi.

Recently widowed and in search for a new lease of life, the Duchess (Whittaker) defies her family’s wishes by remarrying beneath her class. However, when her brothers, driven by insurmountable greed and rage, discover her second marriage they unleash a series of cruel and devastating punishments against her that repress her power. But will their vicious atrocities come back to haunt them?

The show will be on at The Trafalgar Theatre from 5th October to 20th December.
