Some history on the playwright JOHN FORD.
Jonathan Ford was an English Dramatist. 'Tis A Pity She's A Whore is his best known work. He wrote during the Jacobean(1603–25) and Caroline(1625 – 49) eras. Surprisingly enough Incest is not an uncommon theme in his plays.
Some of his other shows include:
The Lover's Melancholy
The Broken Heart
Love's Sacrifice
The Fancies Chaste and Noble
The Lady's Trial
