A Woman Killed with Kindness

Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price

A startling domestic thriller from the seventeenth century, one of the first tragedies ever to be written about ordinary people.

Thomas Heywood's play A Woman Killed with Kindness strips bare two women's lives, with forensic realism. It was first performed by Worcester's Men in 1603.

This edition, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is edited and introduced by Trevor Griffiths.
