Fights and Gore-- backstage videos for 'Tis Pity She's a Whore

"'Tis Pity is at its best at its bloodiest...." -City Paper

And that is part of the fun—and the challenge—of a Jacobean Revenge Tragedy. Our fight choreographer J. Allen Suddeth and the cast worked hard to bring a realistic edge to the violence and mayhem on stage, and the crew backstage puts extra hours in every night to deliver—and remove—the gallons of blood required.

Check out J. Allen Suddeth’s video that compares the fights in rehearsal to the finished action on stage. And then take a backstage tour with members of our Stage Management and Costume crews as they give a sneak peek into the array of tools and tricks to giving a Revenge Tragedy a bloody good ending (created by Rapheal Davison and Sarah Anne Austin)
