Titus Andronicus - by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare's first tragedy.

Scholars posit that Titus Andronicus was Shakespeare's attempt at writing a revenge play (popular in Elizabethan England). Not for the weak of stomach the play is violent and shows man to be unforgiving.  The extreme cruelty all houses take part in is near cartoonish in its graphic nature...and just when you think it all must come to an end Titus serves up some pie.  Yes, it is bloody and gruesome. Yes, it is evil and dark.  Yes, it pits brother against brother and the Romans against the Goths. Yes, there will be pie!

Trivia and Prizes as well as the reading and a special Tuesday Titus drinking game (drink responsibly please)



After returning from a victory over the Goths the Romans must choose a new leader, namely Titus Andronicus must choose the leader. Will it be Saturninus or Bassianus? To the victor goes the spoils, namely Tamora, Queen of the Goths who is anything but calm about Titus' victory over her nation. One vengeful act leads to another as Tamora and Titus each prove to be more elaborate and horrific than the next.

ALL ABOUT PIE

If you fancy yourself a baker we encourage you to bring your own pie to the party. We will have guest judges and fun prizes and whipped cream too. We will have a prize for the best savory and the best sweet pie at both locations. And once we announce the winners those that prefer to eat pie over baking it will be able to indulge all while we show just how gritty Shakespeare can be. For full pie competition details, e-mail info@stonesoupshakespeare.com.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Chad Ramsey came to Chicago with one mission and one mission only: grotesque and bloody revenge.  Having failed to find any respectable Goth Queens to exact said revenge upon, Chad has contented himself to lay coiled in the weeds of the Chicago theatre scene like a pit viper from his native Tucson Arizona. 

This is the third Stone Soup staged reading that Chad has participated in and the first in which he has had the pleasure of directing.  Chad also appeared as Oberon and Theseus in Stone Soup's 2012 Tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream.  Outside of Stone Soup, Chad has also worked as an actor, dramaturg, or director with Eclipse Theatre, Collaboraction, Redmoon, Hell in a Handbag, and The Artistic Home among others.

Titus Andronicus is a uniquely flawed and triumphant script in Shakespeare's canon and Chad is looking forward to using a fast-paced and streamlined cut to open up discussion as to the meaning of the play's singularly gratuitous violence.
