Dorothy Sayers used this play as a chapter title in her Busman's Honeymoon and Aphra Behn copied its plot with her Love Letters. It also forms a sort of play within a play in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing. The final act is presaged by the central character's declaration, "the schoolmen teach that all this globe of earth, shall be consumed to ashes in a minute." Among the secondary characters are Philotis, who advances the cause of her physician uncle, and three servants - though Putana and Poggio are eclipsed by Vasques, who plays a role in the climactic banquet. The story turns on the deception of Soranzo, who is unaware of an unnatural affair his brother-in-law Giovanni is having. For ten points, name this tragedy by John Ford, whose title refers to the incestuous lady Anabella.
