In my quest to read all of Shakespeare's plays, I read Titus Andronicus.
Wow.
Not only is it a terrible play, it's a precurser to slasher films.So much bloody, violent, disturbing action. Rape, murder, dismemberment, cannibalism. Ugh.
Clearly an early play by Shakespeare. I wonder if this was actually partly written by someone else, and maybe he just added some bits?
If this is ever staged locally, I won't go!
I hope the 10 plays I have to go are better.
Pax et bonum
