Andronicus at Lyric Hyperion Theatre

Andronicus

Lyric Hyperion Theatre
2106 Hyperion Ave Silver Lake

Deliciously twisted humor gives way to unexpected poignancy in this bold take on William Shakespeare's original horror play The Lamentable Tragedy of Titus Andronicus. Reveling in the darkest corners of human nature, Andronicus is a streamlined adaptation of Shakespeare's most violent play; the bard's masterful dramatic structure and brutal tale of revenge have been carefully preserved.

"...Lelliott's earnest interpretation has a fine continuity of theme. It could use a similar consistency of mood, or a greater investment in the occasional departures from tone. But ultimately it's an exciting and worthwhile production. If opening night had a few swords falling nervously from scabbards, and even if a prop representing an amputated left hand looked a lot like the right hand retained by the character, maladroit is never the word for a Coeurage show."

"...As any frequent StageSceneLA visitor will have gathered, this reviewer can take Shakespeare or leave him (and more often the latter than the former) but I had a bloody good time watching the bodies pile up in Andronicus. And that's about as good a sign of a crowd-pleaser as they get."

"...This play is so awful that it truly demands every resource a company can bring to lessen the amount of outright laughs at the cruelty and blood in front of us that some of the younger members of the audience burst out with. But dealing with psychopaths, whose mutilations and murders strain theatricalized reality, and the unfortunate victims who wear blood-stained clothes, allowed for some strange and weird directorial choices, in addition to some of the actors not being able to bring essential details to their characterizations."

"...As the run progresses, hopefully this wide divide between the company members' acting styles will narrow; if everyone involved were on the same page, this nicely updated Andronicus could indeed be the bold and imaginative interpretation that was probably originally envisioned."

"...That Coeurage Theatre Company can stage it so you can still appreciate the art in Shakespeare's early attempt at tragedy is quite an accomplishment and also a reflection of the company's passion and all-hands-in approach. Adapted and directed by artistic director, Jeremy Lelliott, it boasts a number of fine performances and an ensemble that is at the ready every step of the way."
