Notes: | From the original Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare | |||||
Synopsis: | A modern, truncated version of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, Mondo tells the tale of the titular Roman general locked in a tragic cycle of violence with his enemy Tamora, queen of the Goths. The two devise a series of ghastly machinations that portends a dark end for both families. The audience is granted a brief reprieve from the bloodletting at intermission, when the company puts on a riotous, light speed rendition of one of Shakespeare's more popular tragedies. After these five minutes of levity, however, the audience is plunged back into the pitch-black world of Titus, where things quickly go from bad to worse to downright apocalyptic. | |||||
