In Howard Barker's Brutopia  we are presented with an imagined history of Sir Thomas More and his "unloved" daughter Cecilia. More invented the perfect society--Utopia; Cecilia in her turn became his antagonist by writing a secret counter-text an invented dystopia--Brutopia, which bares a striking resemblance to Tudor England, in all it's cruelty and brutality. It is a madhouse of grand proportions.
