Synopsis
Following the success of its 2011/12 performances across Paris, Sydney, New York, London and Madrid, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore will return to the UK and internationally next spring.
This vivid and violent Jacobean tragedy shows a brother and sister's passionate descent into hell. Incest, religion and corrupt morality collide in this 'sexy, stylish production' (The Times), making this play as shocking and controversial today as it was almost four hundred years ago.
