Heh. The only Titus story I know revolves around the production in which the actress playing Lavinia dropped the stick with which she was supposedly scrawling the names of her attackers, post-mutilation in mid-scrawl. The audience held its breath...and the actor playing her father looked down, made a loud Tsk! noise, shook his head and said, 'Butterstumps...'
I suspect if I had done Shakespeare/revenge tragedy with my ex-Snoopervisor, Titus would have made the reading list as an example of just how insane revenge tragedy can get when it's allowed to. Right up there with 'The Revenger's Tragedy'.
