work by Lanie DeLay, Bruce Lee Webb, Ashley Whitt, Erin Stafford, Colette

The Complete Works of Shakespeare: Titus Andronicus
WINSPEAR OPERA HOUSE | Shakespeare Dallas and AT&T Performing Arts Center are in the
midst of presenting staged readings of every single one of Williams
Shakespeare's works over five years. The 25th in the series will be Titus
Andronicus. A fan favorite in its time and
possibly Shakespeare’s first tragedy, this account of the fictitious Roman
general, Titus Andronicus includes 14 killings, six severed
members, one live burial, one case of insanity, one case of cannibalism and 1-3
rapes depending on how you count. It’s a tale of escalating revenge gone
horribly wrong and easily wins the title of Shakespeare’s bloodiest play. Performances will take place
in Hamon Hall.
