The Honest Whore [EXPLICIT - S] - {{ productInfo[0].CHARACTER }}

“Can a lusty prostitute fall in love without losing her mind in the process? This surprisingly comedic domestic drama provides the perfect kick-off to our season of uncontrolled passions. With three interweaving comic plots, The Honest Whore careens irreverently through every strata of Milanese society (as a thinly-disguised stand in for the underworld of Jacobean London). A prostitute named Bellafront falls in love with the courtier Hippolito, but devoted to the memory of his beloved, Hippolito spurns her. However, his beloved, Infelice, has been falsely given out dead by her father, the Duke of Milan, in an attempt to thwart their love affair. At the same time, a linen draper's wife, believing she "wants that virtue which all women's tongues have, to anger their husbands," invents wild schemes to get a rise out of him, that will eventually entangle them all. Of course, these plots unravel in asylums and prisons, amongst gambling and prostitution, to make The Honest Whore an uproarious tale of paternal disapproval and sexual deceit.” – Red Bull Theatersee less
