Orlando Shakes Presents Pay-What-You-Will Night for TITUS ANDRONICUS This Saturday

Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF continues its efforts to make theater affordable and accessible to every member of the community by presenting a Pay-What-You-Will performance in conjunction with William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus on Saturday, March 30 at 8 p.m.

This is the first production of Titus Andronicus in Orlando Shakespeare Theater's 24-year history. Though rarely produced today, Titus Andronicus was the most popular play during Shakespeare's lifetime. Pay-What-You-Will tickets are available in-person only on the day of the performance at the Orlando Shakes Box Office only (812 East Rollins Street) starting at 12 p.m. and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are limited to two per person. No refunds or exchanges.

Shocking, savage, and outrageously entertaining, Titus Andronicus is a cataclysmic cycle of revenge between the families of Titus, the great Roman general, and Tamora, the sadistic Queen of the Goths. Each of their barbarous and diabolical acts begets more brutal acts of retaliation. Theatrically vivid and surprisingly moving, Titus Andronicus is what a summer blockbuster would be if it were written by the world's great genius of language and theater. Titus Andronicus is intended for mature audiences. Concerned theatergoers should contact the Box Office for more information.

Titus Andronicus runs through April 28th, 2013 at the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center. Tickets for all other performances, priced at $17-$40, are on sale now at (407) 447-1700, online at http://orlandoshakes.org, and in person at the Box Office located inside the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 East Rollins Street in Orlando's Loch Haven Cultural Park.

Titus Andronicus is made possible by A. Brian Phillips, P.A., Foley & Larner, LLP, and JetBlue. Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF is supported by United Arts of Central Florida with funds from the United Arts campaign and by State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Arts Council.
