Ah, what to do with one of Shakespeare’s “worse” plays that must have some redeeming qualities since it’s still hanging around? Give it to a bunch of hairy puppets, throw in a few cans of Silly String, add a pop music background, and sit back for the time of your life. PUPPET TITUS ANDRONICUS, in the capable and irreverent hands of the Puppet Shakespeare Players, becomes a hilarious offering of plots and poetry, blood and betrayal, dismemberment and death, and colorful charming puppets. Asides and improvisation enhance the wacky wildness and involve the audience – these folks are very talented.

There’s an occasional nod to The Bard with a few of his lines delivered intact, but for the most part, PUPPET TITUS ANDRONICUS is a free-for-all rendition that sweeps you along in its raucous merriment and tragic events. Shakespeare has never been such fun!
