RICHMOND SHAKESPEARE SOCIETY PRESENTS
'Tis Pitty Shee's a Whore
by John Ford | Directed by Rodney Figaro
Forbidden love. Deadly consequences.
As brother and sister, Giovanni’s and Annabella’s forbidden love leads inevitably to tragic consequences. ‘Tis Pitty... is a high-Jacobean revenge tragedy – a searing exposition of incest, murder, adultery, and betrayal. This astonishing but rarely performed masterpiece offers verse to rival Shakespeare’s, tragic roles as challenging as Ophelia and Romeo – and a villain every inch as treacherous as Iago.
Shall then, for that I am her brother born,
My joys be ever banished from her bed?
