The Show Must Go Online today announced the full cast for their upcoming livestreamed reading of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. Rob Myles directs Tiffany Abercrombie (Lavinia), Clark Alexander (Martius/Attendant), Jack Baldwin (Lucius), Michael Bertenshaw (Titus Andronicus), Mark Holden (Aaron), Khuyen Le (Bassianus), Wayne Lee (Saturninus), Joanna Lucas (Quintus/ Third Goth), Tricia Mancuso Parks (Tamora), Emily Millwood (Young Lucius), Shamiso Mushambi (Aemilius), Matthew Rhodes (Chiron), Charles Sloboda-Bolton (Demetrius), and Julia Walker Wyson (Marcus Andronicus). The ensemble consists of Toni Benedetti-Martin, Natalie Harper, Ross Martin, and Sophie Max, with Mark Hammersley and Tamara Ritthaler as swings.
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.
