'Tis Pity She's a Whore (2017 Autumn)

'Tis Pity She's a Whore by John Ford (~1630)

John Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore tells the story of the siblings Annabella and Giovanni whose love affair unhinges more than just their own lives. In a modern setting, this Jacobean tragedy offers a gripping story as well as a critical view on social conventions which form a breeding ground for desperate actions.
