William Shakespeare as Quentin Tarantino...
January/12/2018 13:05 Titus Andronicus | Julius Caesar | Antony and Cleopatra | Shakespeare | Performance
Three reviews of the RSC's current season at the Barbican Theater — Titus Andronicus, Antony and Cleopatra, and Julius Caesar. Of the three, Titus comes off best, with some interesting analysis by reviewer Matt Wolf, in particular the idea that Titus Andronicus in some ways was Shakespeare's preparation for King Lear — particularly in terms of the channeling of extreme violence and the resulting pathos. An interesting take.
