Feed the Herd Theatre Company takes a satirical stab at an otherwise tragic play by John Ford (1633).
Tis Pity She's a Whore is a Jacobean tragedy set in a small Italian town about the incestuous love-affair between a brother and sister, her many suitors (she is the most beautiful girl in town), and the regrettable actions of individuals driven by a town of self-righteous zealots. Unlike many productions of John Ford's classic that focus on the gravité of star-crossed lovers destined for an ill-demise for wont of forbidden love, Feed the Herd is doing the show as commedia dell'arte. Accentuated by live music, burlesque antics and masked characters, FTH asks, "What's not funny about a brother impregnating his sister and then murdering her suitor before being stabbed mercilessly by a pack of banditti?"
