Prelude
“As stated in the British Library archives Rockas first production was Ford`s `Tis Pity She`s a Whore ` under the name of New Theatre in 1980 and was a prelude to her creating Internationalist Theatre. Declan Donnellan was commissioned to direct the play. ”it is something of a triumph. Naked passion is as raw under a three piece suit as draped in Renaissance brocades“.[31] She herself portrayed Annabella as a sinister teenager and not the compliant passive beauty.[32] Various accents from a Scottish, American and South African cast mixed seamlessly in this production as a start to the challenge of contemporary theatre mores [33] ” https://archive.org/details/angeliquerockasasannabellatispityshesawhore_202002
