"'Tis Pity She's A Whore"

"'Tis Pity She's a Whore": "Brotherly Love" Has Never Been So Literal (or Deadly)

Besides having only the best title in the history of drama, "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" answers the burning question: What if Romeo and Juliet were brother and sister? In John Ford's Jacobean-era masterpiece, siblings Annabella and Giovanni fall into an incestuous affair with a brutal velocity that sets Renaissance Parma aflame with its passionate force. Defiant in their desires to the bloody end, these lovers take "star-crossed" into a whole new galaxy. Now, in its first major off-Broadway staging in 20 years, "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" returns in an acclaimed production that has "The New York Times" giving "a lusty cheer to the red-blooded Red Bull Theater Company" (and a glowing "Critic's Pick" review, to boot). Lock yourself in for a rollicking ride that will leave your moral compass spinning at The Duke on 42nd Street.
