It’s Valentine’s Day and Alice Arden intends to kill her husband, Thomas. The dark comedy Arden of Faversham, written in 1592 by an unknown author, was inspired by true events. When Thomas came into a bit of money, Alice and her lover, Moby, hired people to kill him. It all sounds pretty noir, but this new adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher and Kathryn Walat stays close to the original Elizabethan material. Jesse Berger directs. —Jensen Davis
