If you are looking for a place to bring your date this weekend that isn’t Kam’s, I highly suggest checking out Titus Andronicus. It’s supposed to be an incredibly bloody and/or violent play and was written by Shakespeare, who was so totally like omg gay. One of the cool things about going out to see Shakespeare on campus is that it makes you sound like you’re classy and smart and at the same time it keeps you entertained with blood and guts. Here are the dets, as stolen from Facebook:

Things to look forward to in Titus:

-Many chopped off hands, and a couple heads
-People actually get baked into a pie. It’s disgusting.

I’m still waiting to see an LGBT production of Coriolanus, which is a much stronger candidate for Shakespeare’s gayest play than Titus, IMHO. Imagine Brokeback Mountain as told by Shakespeare, starring Roman soldiers.

(So, it’s got more going for it than just the title. ;-))

It was SOOO GOOD! Definitely a must see. The cast was great, and the killing was superb. And the shirt off action. Mmyea!
