Improbable Fiction presents William Shakespeare's TITUS ANDRONICUS, directed by Tracy Liz Miller, which runs from October 27 through November 17 at the West Side Dance Project in New York. Bill Van Horn leads an ensemble of nine actors in TITUS ANDRONICUS, William Shakespeare's bloody exploration of love, lust and revenge.

Improbable Fiction delves into Shakespeare's gory tale with an intricately designed production. A seemingly endless parade of rapes, amputations and beheadings, TITUS ANDRONICUS is well known for taking stage violence to an absurdist extreme. Director Tracy Liz Miller's interpretation embraces this absurdity and even finds some comedy in the horror. Utilizing the play's roster of malicious power-seekers, Miller renders the work as an exaggerated mirror of the modern political climate.

TITUS ANDRONICUS features David Godbey, Alan Jestice, Karen LaMoureaux, Andrew Lincoln, Michael Markham, Erin Roberts, Eadie Scott, Augustus Truhn and Bill Van Horn, with sets by Michael McKenna and fight choreography and make-up effects by David Godbey. TITUS ANDRONICUS will be performed in the Mainstage Theater at the West Side Dance Project, located at 260 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor (between Seventh and Eighth Avenues).

Performances will take place October 27 and November 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 at 8:00pm. All tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door, or through Smarttix at www.smarttix.com or 212.868.4444.
