There aren't many plays about prostitution are there?

[MrsWinnibago]

Just musing. Did a quick search and found that on Wikipedia there's a list of plays about prostitution and found that 3 out of 15 were written by women. The other 12 were penned by men.

Is prostitution not a good subject for the theatre?

Why not?

It's a subject which would surely invite drama....could you share your thoughts please?

True iismum, iirc she and Mary of Bethany were believed to be separate people until the 4th century. The Eastern Orthodox church has never regarded her as the same person as Mary of Bethany, who was supposed to be a prostitute. The Magdalene persona was used by the medieval church to demonstrate the 'penitent woman'.

As you were.
