This was just delicious. I loved the premise, and the absurd turns this production kept taking. Definite favorite of the Fringe for me, GO!...

This is the best theater I've seen in years. Props to Dawson Middle School for such a distinctive approach to Shakespeare's work....

Under the careful direction of Troy Heard, the young cast shines and the one older gentleman of the group commands attention and prowls the stage as a hapless and heartbroken teacher with nothing to lose.
Fearless in its portrayal, the show ventures to places where many other stage plays would stumble and falter. Shows helmed by Troy Heard are never predictable, sometimes visceral, but always enjoyable. The audible gasps around me elicited from the happenings onstage were a testament to the rapt attention and personal investment maintained from the audience. It's not a show that you'll snooze through. ...

Titus Jr. is bloody brilliant! I was so impressed with the level of understanding the young actors had with the text of Titus Andronicus as it is (in my opinion) one of Shakespeare's more difficult plays. I had no idea what to expect when I sat down to watch Titus Jr. and I am happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. I especially loved the twist ending (which I won't give away). Kudos to Mr. Benjamin and his drama class at Dawson Middle School! This is a must-see show at Fringe, don't miss it!...

I loved this show! Just the right amount of wrong... The setup drew me in right from the start. The kids were actually quite believable in the absurd situation and did a wonderful job! As things went from bad to worse, the escalation felt believable as well as darkly entertaining....

Not much more to say that hasn't been said here already. My favorite of the fringe so far. Absolutely hilarious and the kids are ridiculously good, playing both the truth of their 'actor' characters, handling the Shakespeare with flair and showing everyone whst great timing is. Your jaw will be on the floor with how wonderfully wrong this is, while crying with laughter. Must see. ...
