'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE touring Yorkshire this November
This November in venues across Yorkshire, The Mooted Theatre Co. will stage one of the most controversial plays of the last 400 years - 'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE.
YORK, UK, October 24, 2008 /Performing Arts PR News/ -- This November in venues across Yorkshire, The Mooted Theatre Co. will stage one of the most controversial plays of the last 400 years - 'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE.
17th century Parma is a city teeming with intrigue, conspiracy and murder, where nothing is as it seems. But even this murky, deceitful place will be turned upside down by the secret affair of two young lovers, who find a passion together that will echo through the ages.
For there's a problem:
They're brother and sister.
'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE by John Ford is a dark disturbing slice of Jacobean tragedy, a play in which forbidden passions and unspeakable crimes collide explosively with tragic effect.
Like Tarantino writing Romeo and Juliet, this is an energetic, uncompromising masterpiece of British theatre. Despite its age, the play depicts a world beset by discrimination, bigotry and censorship, issues that resonate as much these days as they ever did. Mooted's intense production promises to raise as many questions as it answers.
Mooted's previous production, David Mamet's A LIFE IN THE THEATRE, achieved critical acclaim and sold out houses across Yorkshire. "Mooted's production hits home strongly...there is plenty of life in this theatre" - The Press, York. "The Mooted Theatre Co. open with a confident and well-crafted debut...their future is only to be anticipated." - The British Theatre Guide
