Fine Arts Entertainment The Davidson College Theatre Department presents its fall production of Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton, a Jacobean revenge tragedy on par with Shakespeare’s best work. Directed by Visiting Assistant Professor Mark Sutch, Middleton’s play tells a gripping story of fleeting love, the corruption of youth, and brutal revenge. Three young innocents are dragged deeper and deeper into a tangled web of deceit and betrayal, culminating in a shocking and violent finale. The Guardian called the play “Romeo and Juliet for grown-ups.” Recommended for mature audiences. October 26 & 27 at 8:15 p.m.
