Scrap Paper Shakespeare presents “Titus Andronicus”

Shakespeare’s bloody tale of revenge presented for your spooky appetites!

North Carolina-based theater troupe Scrap Paper Shakespeare returns with a perfectly macabre tale of sorrow and revenge (a dish best served cold?).

Please note that this show is not recommended for those under 18.

Fake blood will be used and may get on those in the front rows of the audience. Our fake blood recipe is fully washable on a normal washing machine cycle, but we do recommend wearing casual clothing and saving your dry-clean-only Sunday best for another event!

CONTENT ADVISORY:

This production includes depictions of murder and mutilation that feature fake blood and prosthetics.

A character is physically assaulted on stage, and a sexual assault occurs off stage. This is a significant plot point and is discussed repeatedly, though never graphically described.

The characters of the play engage in significant misogyny, casual racism and racially motivated violence.

Other potentially triggering content includes cannibalism & suicidal ideation.

For more specific information, please feel free to contact director Emma Szuba at eszuba@scrappapershakespeare.org.

The text of the play can also be found readily online. Scrap Paper Shakespeare has made some small cuts to the text for clarity and time, but in terms of content stays true to the story as written by Shakespeare. This production has not added unscripted violence but does engage fully with the brutality of the tragedy as written.

Doors 7 pm, show at 7:30 pm. Tickets various prices, available here.
