DOUBLE FALSEHOOD is the story of Henriquez, the son of a Duke and traveling libertine who wreaks havoc on a small community. Impulsively, he not only rapes a young woman, Violante, but also manages to send his best friend Julio away, meanwhile wooing Julio’s fiancé Leonora for his own wife. This “double falsehood” sends the four young people on a journey of passion, grief, and madness in the wilds of the countryside. Of debatable authorship, DOUBLE FALSEHOOD was only just recently accepted into the canon of Shakespeare’s works by Arden, and is believed to be possibly based on Shakespeare’s lost play CARDENIO. Full of heartache, violence and romance, as well as surprising moments of comedy, DOUBLE FALSEHOOD is in the classic mode of the Pastoral, but with a dark twist.
