Tis Pity She's a Whore
The colors for the poster for 'Tis Pity She's a Whore" should either be red with darker shades of black and grey, or a combination of browns and maroon. The red is important as a portrayal of passion, which is evident in the lusts and actions of certain characters. A poster idea could be the title at the top and the backgrounds is ruffled red silk sheets. On the sheets lays a a goblet of wine with some of the wine spilled on the sheets so that it looks like blood. In the reflection of the wine we see a woman's face. This of course was taken from Hippolita drinking the poisoned drink. The red silk sheets gives pretense to the lusts of the play while the wine goblet and spill foreshadows death. Underneath the image could be the quote from the friar in act one that states, "For death waits on thy lust." The bottom of the poster fades into black except for a faint image of a skull.
Another quote could be this one by Annabella;
"Annabella: This banquet is an harbinger of death to you and me; resolve yourself it is, and be prepared to welcome it."
This would also be a fitting quote since it eludes to the banquet with the image of the wine glass, and the skull is still an indicator of death.
"Soranzo: Learn to repent and die, for by they honor I hate thee and my lust."
This quote would also be appropriate since the poster has a depiction of Hippolita in the goblet of wine, and the idea of lust is again present with the subtlety of the sheets.
