A visceral, revamped BBC radio production of John Ford's classic play about a doomed love between a brother and sister

With its shocking portrayal of incest, intrigue and murder, this powerful Jacobean revenge drama scandalised audiences when it was first performed in the 1620s, and is still controversial today.

When siblings Giovanni and Annabella embark on a passionate affair, Annabella falls pregnant with her brother's child. Knowing she must marry to protect her honour, she chooses one of the many suitors clamouring for her hand - but when her secret is revealed, the lovers are caught up in a bloody chain of events that culminate in a poisoning, a blinding, a stabbing and a brutal massacre...

Reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, but darker and more twisted, John Ford's 17th-century tale of sex and death is restyled for radio in Pauline Harris's compassionate, disturbing adaptation. Intercut with the music of Jimi Hendrix and Nick Cave, it also features an original song, 'In Deep', composed by Jules Maxwell and sung by Jessie Buckley, Indira Varma, and Abby Andrews. The play is introduced by Professor Emma Smith from Hertford College, Oxford.

The director has cut the action of the play to the bone, and while this does bring the central action into sharp focus, it also causes the play to lose some of its sense of teeming life. I especially lament the character Bergetto, who is entirely missing from this production: his death is one of the most horrifying and pathetic in English Renaissance drama. — On the other hand… Jessie Buckley.

Beautifully performed but cut to the bone

Yes the play has been cut by about an hour and so there’s obviously a lot lost here - reading 'Tis Pity is better - and the play definitely deserves a production available online of its full length with an even better cast and director, but still this is a very well done radio version of 'Tis Pity. The actors get their characters right, the pacing works, the director and scene slasher (writer who cut so much out) do a good job at bringing it together. This production is also better than the drastically cut BBC radio productions of Middleton and Webster’s plays as well as a lot of Shakespeare BBC radio productions in recent years. This is especially good to listen to for folks new to the author, John Ford. Highly recommend this and if you like it, read the play in its entirety, and other plays by Ford, he was absolutely brilliant.

Masterpiece of a play

I was a skeptical when I saw the length of this production, but then I read all the great reviews. Honestly, I am at a loss to understand the high marks. The music was annoying, and the play was chopped to bits. Good productions of early modern drama that isn’t Shakespeare is hard to find, and this isn’t one of them

Too much cut out and annoying music
