Hard to follow, but this play is wild as hell and pretty fun. It would be interesting to see as a theatrical production with full sets, effects, etc.

Provides a unique perspective on the relations between Christians/Jews/Muslims in the early 17th century. Some themes that appear are apostasy, infidelity, cross-dressing, redemption, and general lechery. It is a pretty fun tragedy, with a few amazing pick-up lines in it (specifically Ward when describing Voana) and some decent gallows speeches. Would recommend it to anyone recommend in these themes and this time period.
This play presents some ambiguity and confusion about which lines belong to who. There are also characters who are not listed in the dramatis personae, so you have to go online to find out who they are.
