Fall top fives -- theater: 'Titus Andronicus'

( Chseapeake Shakespeare Company / September 3, 2010 )

William Shakespeare's tragedy is ... um ... pretty tragic. And bloody. Really, really bloody. And this tale of a revenge-bent Roman general waging war against Tamora, Queen of the Goths, will likely get even more terrifying when it's staged in the supposedly haunted ruins at the Patapsco Female Institute Historic Park. Billy Shakes would approve. Oct. 7-31 // $15-$30 // 3691 Sarah’s Lane, Ellicott City // chesapeakeshakespeare.com
