'Tis Pity's she a Whore so far as been my favorite John Ford play, but this was good. This play was written in the late 1600's. Because of her brother Ithocles' unwise decisions Penthea has to marry the overbearing jealous Bassanes instead of Orgilus. Her brother soon realizes the error of his ways, but Orgilus sets out to get his revenge. The title of the play refers to the fate of Calantha, Ithocles love. This covers topic like murder and suicide but 'Tis Pity was juicer.
