| Description | The chapter suggests that 1989 is the year of Titus Andronicus, at least among New York Metropolitan Shakespeare venues; some say it's because the play mirrors our especially violent and bloody times. It shows how matters appear in these, our troubled days, while pointedly foregrounding the play's inherently ritualistic content to suggest how Shakespeare's Rome handled matters of greatest sociopolitical urgency. At the play's end, there is no closing procession. The rituals have disappeared; They did not work anyway. There are no rights for Tamora, and there will be none for Aaron. It is unusual that the production itself, in all of its facets, rivals its cast for critical acclaim. That is precisely the case in the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival's Titus. If this was the year of Titus Andronicus, Barry's contribution to his public's comprehension of the play's impact has been a significant one. Book Name: Titus Andronicus |
