Notes: | adapting Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare | |||||
| Where were you guys? Did you not realize that there is no better way to open the Fringe than taking Bad Bill Shakespeare's great play, Titus Andronicus (in its day, a fringe festival in and of itself),and jazzing it up a little? I mean, you've got twenty dead guys even before the play starts! And after that, hands get hacked off, tongues get ripped out, severed heads roll out of the dustbins, and recipes Emeril never thought of get a workout&what more could you want? Wait, I know the answer - screaming guitars and a punk overlay written in the inimitable style of Shawn Northrip. | |||||
