The Globe Theatre will stage the 430-year-old revenge tragedy and tweak the script so its prejudices are made clear to modern audiences
Shakespeare’s work will be altered to make characters in Titus Andronicus appear more racist to modern audiences.
The Globe Theatre is set to stage the revenge tragedy, notorious as the Bard’s most bloody play, and creatives working on the production plan to tweak its 430-year-old script.
Shakespeare’s language will be swapped for the modern vocabulary of race to make dialogue in Titus Andronicus more racially charged and its characters more obviously prejudiced for contemporary viewers.
Personally I think all of Shakespeare’s plays should be reworked to include Racialized Dwarves and Gay Elves.
