The Honest Whore

on BBC Radio 3

by THOMAS DEKKER arranged for radio by RAYMOND RAIKES
The First Part of The Honest Whore by Thomas Dekker and Thomas Middleton was printed in 1604: the Second Part (presumably Dekker's unassisted work) was not printed until 1630. Both parts contain plot and sub-plot: for this broadcast the sub-plot, which has little connection with the main plot, is omitted.
The word Honest in 1604 signified Respectable, Honourable. or Virtuous.
