If you love incest plots, you’re in luck! John Ford’s immortal Tis Pity She’s a Whore is the Romeo and Juliet of incestuous, misbegotten, star-crossed love. We tell you what little we know of Ford in Meet the Contemporary; we give you a rather complete and detailed summary; we read Act 5, scene 5 for A Taste of Text; and we play the Playlist game where we brainstorm songs that will get you in the Tis Pity mood…and that’s it, because the ShakesBubble world was pretty boring and news-less this week…nothing so exciting as a heart impaled on a dagger or anything…
Here’s the playlist we came up with:
Is this desire - PJ Harvey
Touch Myself - Divinyls
Heart Attack - Trey Songz
Like a Virgin - Madonna
Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
Colorblind - Counting Crows
Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys
With or Without You - U2
Look What You Made Me Do - Taylor Swift
Woman - Harry Styles
(Bonus Track) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - U2
(Bonus Track) How Will I Know? - Whitney Houston
