Directed by Centerstage artistic director Irene Lewis, the production will continue through April 5. The cast is headed by Kristin Sieh and Colby Chambers as, respectively, the doomed sibling-lovers Annabella and Giovanni, with Laurence O'Dwyer as the Friar and John Ramsey as the Cardinal.
'Tis Pity, according to press notes, "combines a forbidden love, a meddling nurse, a complicit friar, and a tragic and bloody ending — mirroring in many ways the story of Romeo and Juliet — but it's the lurid twist of a brother and sister in love that sets this bloody 17th-century revenge tragedy apart from Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers."
Tickets, priced $10-$60, are available by visiting www.centerstage.org or by calling (410) 332-0033.
