Titus Andronicus: Public announces full cast

The Public Theater has announced the full cast for their production of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, directed by Michael Sexton, opening at the Anspacher Theater on 13 Dec 2011, following previews from 29 Nov, and running through to 18 Dec 2011.

Joining the previously announced Jay O. Sanders (Titus), are Rob Campbell (Lucius), Patrick Carroll (Chiron/Voice of Quintus), Frank Dolce (Young Lucius), Jacob Fishel (Saturninus), William Jackson Harper (Demetrius/Voice of Martius), Sherman Howard (Marcus), Jennifer Ikeda (Lavinia), Ron Cephas Jones (Aaron), Hoon Lee (Bassianus/Publius/Aemilius/Nurse) and Stephanie Roth Haberle (Tamora).

Titus Andronicus 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.

The design team includes Brett Banakis (set), Cait O'Connor (costume), Mark Barton (lighting) and Brandon Wolcott (sound).
