Buntport Theater

Two women clasp hands as they look out, wide-eyed. One of the women wears a fake mustache. Behind them, peaking out of the window of a van that has been painted like a forest, three men are watching.

Titus Andronicus: The musical!

SHAKESPEARE’S ONLY MUSICAL DRAMEDY

P.S. McGoldstein and his van-o-players take on the Bard’s bloodiest play!

So there we were one day brainstorming about show ideas. Someone suggested a musical, which struck most of us as particularly amusing, given our general lack of talent in the areas of singing or playing instruments. Always ready for a challenge – or, at the least, a good laugh – we promptly called up our friend Muni and told him he had to come out here to work with us again, but this time he had to write some music in order to adapt Titus Andronicus, the less-than-well-thought-out tragedy, into something you could tap your toes to. Why Titus? It has everything you want in a musical: dismemberment, decapitation, completely insane and/or very stupid characters, you get the idea.
