What I liked
A simple functional set, a middle school theatre program and a cast that could’ve been plucked from any real town, Titus Jr succeeds in its madness by bringing the audience into the world of the show and making them accomplices of everything they witness.
What I didn't like
My overall impression
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.
