The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Interim Executive Director Joey Parnes) announced complete casting today for William Shakespeare’s
TITUS ANDRONICUS,the third Public Lab production of the fall season.Directed by Michael Sexton,
TITUS ANDRONICUS runs Tuesday, November 29 through Sunday, December 18 at The Public Theater, with an official press opening on Tuesday, December 13. Tickets for
TITUS ANDRONICUS are on sale now; all tickets for Public Lab productions are $15.
The complete cast for

Sanders (Titus).
Titus is Rome’s greatest general and the head of a noble Roman family. When his armies vanquish the Goths, their defeated queen unleashes a fury that rocks Titus’s city, devastates his children, and shatters his sense of self. The cycle of revenge is shocking, bloody, and all-encompassing, but expressed through poetry and theatricality as vivid, energized, and thrilling as anything in Shakespeare’s later works.
TITUS ANDRONICUS features scenery design by Brett Banakis, costume design by Cait O’Connor, lighting design by Mark Barton, and music and sound design by Brandon Wolcott.
The 2011-2012 Public Lab season continues in February with
The Total Bent by Stew and Heidi Rodewald, running February 14 – March 4, 2012. The current Public Lab production,
Love’s Labor’s Lost, runs through Sunday, November 6.
Now in its 5th season, Public Lab provides new opportunities for both our audiences and artists. Our audience gains access to more of the theater they love from The Public – both Shakespeare and new work – at the affordable price of only $15. Our artists, both emerging and established, gain a new platform to further develop their work on stage and in performance.
