(2 hrs., 15 mins.) Viewed through a uniquely contemporary American lens, Shakespeare's brutal tragedy is brought to terrifying life. After ten years of savage war, Rome stands ready for a period of peace. Instead, the combat-ravaged heroes return to find their Emperor dead and the citizens demanding an end to the oppression of Imperial rule. Only the free election of the noble Titus Andronicus will satisfy their demands. But change does not come easily in a world where brutality is always the first response. Who can survive the carnival of madness when Titus defies the people’s choice and declines the crown? Tues.-Sat., 8:30pm; Sun., 4pm. Call or visit website for variations in playing schedule.
