One of Shakespeare's most terrifying tales, Titus Andronicus is the heartbreaking story of a father's struggle between honor and love. As he fights for kin and country, honor is soon undermined by betrayal, and love is superseded by vengeance. His descent into madness, sometimes feigned but otherwise justified, is Shakespeare's first and bloodiest tragedy. While the piece is sometimes considered one of his more juvenile, at the time of its conception, Titus had its finger on the pulse of England’s theatrical desires.

Pared down to the essential story, this quick and dirty production left audiences breathless. Director David Andrew Laws invited the viewers to "Think less, feel more". Careful attention was paid to Shakespeare's presentation of the psychological effects on victims of rape, assault, and anguish. The primal and the cerebral knit together as the characters worlds became a landslide of despair.

"If you didn’t know why this play was so fun to perform, well this production demonstrates why."

"Hamlet Isn't Dead's production...doesn't try to make Shakespeare's most violent play anything that it's not, letting this theatrical slasher shine in all its blood-stained glory."
