California Shakespeare Theater presents Shakespeare's tragedy, Titus Andronicus. This early Shakespeare work is a vicious take on the revenge tragedies common to Shakespeare's day. In addition to the rich and powerful language for which Shakespeare is renowned, Titus Andronicus features startling, gruesome and tragic imagery as the mighty Roman general Titus is insidiously taken down, not on the battlefield, but in his own household, by his mortal enemy, Tamora, Queen of the Goths.

Amazing production. Why don't we see this play produced more often? Blood and sex galore! bring warm clothes, in case the fog rolls in! Great food and drink for purchase, too. Take BART + the Shakes' shuttle!

Titus Andronicus is like The Sopranos- a gory melodrama that is most captivating as done by this strong cast with superior direction.

Fabulous acting and the environment is unforgettable. We showed up an hour early and brought our picnic basket, a perfect date. The show did a great job at presenting a difficult Shakespeare play. The mixture between humor and gravity was appreciated. I'll be back next time!

James Carpenter did a wonderful acting job as Titus, as did most of the other performers. The play is not for the squeamish, but I really enjoyed it.

Quotes & Highlights

Description

For the first time in its 38-year history, Cal Shakes presents Titus Andronicus, the young Shakespeare’s virtuosic spin on the revenge tragedies popular in his day. Associate Artist James Carpenter will play the title character; Joel Sass (Pericles, Macbeth) will return to direct. “It’s about a society torn apart, and how its citizens attempt to knit themselves together again,” says Sass. “Titus is one of Shakespeare’s oldest plays, but it is undeniably a play for our time: a sophisticated blend of heart-stopping drama and pitch black humor.”
