Webster based The White Devil on newsletter versions of the story of the killing of Vittoria Accoramboni. "But in what exactly does the fascination of Webster consist?" he asked in the New Statesman.[5] "What could make the Cambridge production of The White Devil in 1920 seem still, to at least two who saw it then without any preconceptions, the most staggering performance they had ever known?" The Royal Shakespeare Company performed The White Devil in 1996 at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon (later transferred to London to The Pit at The Barbican), directed by Gale Edwards with Richard McCabe as Flamineo, Philip Quast as Ludovico, Ray Fearon as Brachiano, Jane Gurnett as Vittoria, Stephen Boxer as Francisco and Philip Voss.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6923.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6923.txt
