BREAKDOWN

TITUS ANDRONICUS

Note about the production: All actors in this production must be physically, emotionally, and psychologically prepared to handle this extremely violent “R rated” material. The production will be sensitive in all conversations and staging acts of violence, led by Rick Sordelet, fight and intimacy director. The production will be walking a knife’s edge of gleeful macabre and serious wartime savagery a la Quentin Tarantino. Actors joining this production must be eager to dive into this material and have fun with it.

Chiron / As Cast: Male. 20s. One of Tamora's younger sons - a tiger’s cub, chief actor in the violence on Lavinia. A mix of vicious, selfish and ridiculous, like the worst kind of teenager.
