episode 2: (Audience Choice) Middleton Mid-Season: E2 - Women Beware Women
Our Middleton Mid-Season (finally) concludes with our fan’s choice: WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN!
Join us on this wild ride of infidelity, incest, murder, and mayhem, which of course is all the fault of the pesky women and nothing to do with the men involved. Not at all. Not even one little bit. Come for the naughty chess puns; stay for the…*checks notes*…burning gold??
Content Note: this play discusses and depicts coercive sexual encounters, incest, and misogyny typical of the period (including an “inspection” of a female character by her prospective husband. This is non-penetrative but still absolutely gross). The final banquet scene has a high body count with several murders by various means taking place in quick succession.
