...comedy is set in plague-ridden London where a gentleman has fled the city and left his house in the care of his steward, Face (Robert Symonds). False Face teams up with a charlatan of alchemy named Subtle (O'Sullivan) and a trollop, Dol Common (Nancy Marchand).

And how did Christina feel about representing Shakespeare's most notorious trollop? "It's fun to play a character you'd be least likely to be in life," she said ever so primly...
...sullen servant wretch whose impending miscarriage climaxes a lifetime of disappointments. Having lost a girlhood lover, she barely tolerates marriage to a handyman she loathes. Angela (Gio Petre) is a young aristocrat, seduced and abandoned by her aunt's former paramour. Agda (Harriet Andersson) is a trollop who took sweets from a lecherous stranger at nymphet age, and has been surpassingly generous to menfolk ever since...
