Barefoot Shakespeare Company presents "TITUS ANDRONICUS"
Barefoot Shakespeare Company is thrilled to present William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, directed by Robert Aronowitz and Emily Asbury. All performances will be held at Summit Rock in Central Park and admission is free. The Unmaking of Man. Rome 1395. Fresh off a victory against the Goths, General Titus is thrust into the spotlight as Rome finds itself in need of a new emperor. Betrayal, villainy and chaos reign supreme as we see the unmaking of the once honorable and militant Titus. Revenge is a dish best served…with wine. Titus will be presented, free of charge, at Summit Rock, Central Park. This summer’s cast includes both alumni and newcomers: Carl Bindman, Andrew Dunn, Emily Gallagher, Linus Gelber, Johnny Gottsegen, Patrick Harman, Addy Paul Jenkins, Kelly Blaze Klotz, Rachel Lawhead, Caeden Musser, Austin Blake Sasser, and Petrea Whittier.

About Barefoot Shakespeare Company Barefoot Shakespeare Company was formed in 2012 with the mission of bringing Shakespeare’s work to a wide and diverse audience with a pedestrian, engaging, and modern outlook on the works of the Bard. They strive to create work that is accessible to everyone, with an eye towards modernization to reflect the world we currently live in, and our recent past to examine how we got here. We continue to try and educate both ourselves and our audiences on the histories and struggles of topics such as race, gender equality, politics, and self-expression with the Bard’s works as our baseline. We value our relationships with our audiences, and encourage them to participate in our productions, blurring the lines between spectator and participant. Located in New York City, Barefoot Shakespeare Company takes full advantage of the beauty of Manhattan’s Central Park to bring Shakespeare alive.
