To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday alongside the livestreamed reading, The Show Must Go Online is also producing online guides for viewers to dress up like the characters from the show at home, make a themed cocktail, or bake a macabre pasty to eat along with Tamora and the rest in the final banquet. For more information on the party theme, please visit Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and set a reminder for the show using the bell icon on YouTube.
The livestreamed reading of Titus Andronicus can be watched live on Wednesday 22 April at 7pm here. Previous readings from the series are also available here.
Members of the cast have previously performed at the RSC, Shakespeare’s Globe, Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Nebraska Shakespeare, and previous credits include Pretty Woman (Piccadilly Theatre), The Play That Goes Wrong (Duchess Theatre), and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery (Criterion Theatre).
