directed by Michael McCall

“What I intend to do is capture the visceral essence of Titus Andronicus. That entails an in-yer-face approach, which will involve seated actors playing centrally in the space, but also placing them in the seating and aisles for more dynamic entrances and exits – keeping the audience on their toes. I am also keen to develop theatrical conventions for Titus Andronicus (using food to represent mutilation, for instance, that will be supported vocally by the actor on stage, white sheets that will be spattered with “blood”), particularly around the way characters are dispatched, but still acknowledging the sensitivities around certain characters’ traumatic experiences, particularly Titus’s daughter.”
