Description
A preview of American Conservatory Theatre’s production of John Ford’s 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, directed by Ms Perloff.

"How could a work with language so nasty and sexual politics so sophisticated have been written almost four centuries ago?" —The New York Times

A.C.T. explores dangerous territory with this rarely staged Jacobean tragedy. Set in a decadent society that prefers scandal and revenge to true love, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore pits the hot-blooded violation of a sexual taboo against the dirty machinations of a corrupt church and state. The result is passionate and poetic, violent and sardonic, and a classic that is mordantly fresh.
