CloseFollowing their triumphant productions of The Changeling (2006) and The Duchess of Malfi (1995), Donnellan and Ormerod return to Jacobean tragedy with a new production of John Ford’s ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore.
In this violent and bloody drama, we watch a brother and sister’s passionate descent into hell. Incest, morality, religion and corruption all make this play as shocking and controversial today as it was almost four hundred years ago.
Cheek by Jowl have established an international reputation for bringing ‘fresh life to the classics using intense, vivid performances like a laser of light to set the text ablaze’ (The Guardian). The company has toured to over 300 cities in 40 countries and is an Associate Company at the Barbican, London.
“The performances are expressive and assured…Lydia Wilson is outstanding as Annabella” **** Sydney Morning Herald
“An excellent, robust production of a powerful play, and an experience not to be missed for those seeking a riveting night of theatrical excellence.” The Australian Stage
Age: 16+
Performed in English.
