1592 tragedy with deep streaks of savage comedy
Fog on the down. Snow falls in hell. Arden must die.
Alice Arden plots to kill her husband.
With the aid of her lover, servants, neighbours and professional killers, it takes many attempts that are both savagely comic as well as tragic.
Are they incompetent, or just unlucky?
Based on an actual crime of the period, this was the first play to foreground ordinary people, partly from Shakespeare's hand
