Religion, art, class and patriotism clash in Pity In History, a riveting drama by iconoclast writer Howard Barker (No End of Blame, Scenes from an Execution).

First produced as a teleplay by the BBC in 1985, Pity In History updates Britain’s 17th century Civil War to present day in a sexy, brazen and remarkably funny examination of a society rife with competing ideologies.
