Titus Andronicus at Public Lab
Opening Night: November 29, 2011
Closing: December 18, 2011
Theater: 37 Arts Theatre
Titus is Rome’s greatest general and the head of a noble Roman family. When his armies vanquish the Goths, their defeated queen unleashes a fury that rocks Titus’s city, devastates his children, and shatters his sense of self. The cycle of revenge is shocking, bloody, and all-encompassing, but expressed through poetry and theatricality as vivid, energized, and thrilling as anything in Shakespeare’s later works.

The torture-porn movie business has an ancient and revered progenitor in the immortal Shakespeare himself. His early tragedy “Titus Andronicus” is a careering pileup of gothic horrors in which great ingenuity is shown in the matter of violent murder. Heads and hands are lopped off at regular intervals; the body count practically defies computation; and the finale is a banquet that only the meat-pie-making Mrs. Lovett of “Sweeney Todd” could love.
