Eldritch Theatre presents a Titus-on-the-Run Productions Workshop Presentation,WHO'S AFRAID OF TITUS?Who was Shakespeare? Does it matter?Well Sky Gilbert thinks he was an aesthete a poet whose plays are about poetry and its effect on us.In tackling Titus Andronicus, perhaps Shakespeares most baffling play Gilbert is drawing on his research for his new book Shakespeare Beyond Science: When Poetry Was the World (released in 2020 by Guernica Editions). Gilbert has now adapted Titus Andronicus for a post-Covid era, asking the question on all our minds Whos Afraid of Titus Andronicus?. Gilbert reduces Titus Andronicus to one hour and 18 concise scenes; the language is there, the story is there and yes, there is a reason for doing this play now. Gilbert presents Titus as a queer play about poeticised violence, and asks (but does not answer) the question. Does art harm us? Should it?Titus features a stellar cast including Brian Smegal (Stratford Festival) as Titus, Ellen-Ray Hennessy (Canadas Queen of Voice and Animation) as Tamora, Sandy Crawley (movies galore; Green Party candidate) as Marcus, Veronika Hurnik (paula and karl, DNA Theatre/Six Stages) as the Narrator, and Michelle Mohammed (Handmaid's Tale) as Lavinia. The production also features Ray Jacildo, George Alevizos, Max Ackerman and John Humeniuk.
