| Synopsis: | General Titus Andronicus has just returned to Rome from the battlefields. He is fatigued and shell-shocked, his sons are all dead, and he is quickly succumbing to the hideous disfiguring disease Elephantiasis filariensis. More than a mash-up of two titles that sound good together, Elephant Titus is an exploration of the spectacle at the heart each source story - a hideous Victorian curiosity in one, a gory revenge tragedy with murder, rape, dismemberment, cannibalism and live burial in the other. The tales intertwine, overlap, enhance and contradict each other. Together, they're a dark circus, a free-wheeling, irreverent and sometimes deliberately juvenile re-creation. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Caroline Durieux is many things: a widow, a single mother, a voracious reader of romance novels, a former actress with a long-forgotten record of happy housewife commercials, and an obsessive-compulsive agoraphobic nymphomaniac. Today, after shuffling her misfit teenage son off to summer school, she confronts a particular crisis: reclaiming her swimming pool from complete encrustation after a late-night vandalism with a case of grape Pop Rocks. And today's pool boy isn't her usual fare. Caroline could be his muse, and he her chance for escape. Under the haze of the New Age awakening in Southern California in 1987, a single day's journey in the Durieux household is outrageous, disturbing and ultimately electrifying. | |||||
