"‘I account this world a tedious theatre’ spat the Duchess (Rachel Louis). If Shakespeare’s Jacques imagines the whole world as a stage where people can play their parts, then Webster’s Duchess is tired of performing. In Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble’s Duchess of Malfi, directed by Chase Fowler, the metaphor was literalized as an abandoned theatre came to life, its ghosts briefly possessing a troop of urban explorers who stumbled across the fragments of a story that ached to be retold. And in the company’s virtuosic doubling and embodiment, the craft of theatre-making itself became the means to keep memories alive."
