Bosola, costumed in drag, sings a torch song to the Duchess just before strangling her. |
During the second act of the production, the unit set was reversed revealing a flimsy theatricality which the director saw in the actions of many of the play's characters. |
bootleg recording 1:34 The actor playing Bosola performed this original composition along with a recording of the piano accompaniment, using a simple handheld microphone which, with it's overtly amplified quality, was one of the components that we used to telegraph a deconstruction of theatrical devices in our production. |
