Titus Andronicus Reviews
Hollywood Progressive- Highly Recommended
"...This stage Titus Andronicus is strong stuff, for adults and mature auds only. Leave the kiddies at home - but for those who love their theatre adventurous and thought provoking, strap on your sandals, dash to Topanga and don't miss it! This just might be the best play currently on L.A.'s boards."
Backscatter- Highly Recommended
"...More politics than Caesar, intrigue than Macbeth, madness than Lear, racism than Othello, petards than Hamlet, and victim-blaming than Winter's Tale. Theatricum Botanicum's boisterous, unsparing staging of 'Titus Andronicus' delivers the goods to those with constitutions strong enough to handle the carnage. This is early Shakespeare, possibly a collaboration, introducing themes that would be fully developed in future standalone plays. The plot: Vanquished Queen Tamora of the Goths is elevated to stature in her captor's country and takes her revenge from within."
Theatre Notes- Highly Recommended
"...The production makes full use of the venue with action that extends beyond the stage proper into the surrounding woods and up and down the stairs of the auditorium. Jordan-Marc Diamond's costumes help transform the scene from the original Rome to a place unspecified modern as does the original soundscape created by composer Marshall McDaniel."
