TITUS ANDRONICUS
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Oct. 11-Nov. 2
[Over-the-Rhine]

This Halloween season, murder, mayhem, and mutilation abound, as Shakespeare’s bloodiest play descends on the CSC stage. Roman general Titus Andronicus returns victorious from 10 years of war, his archnemesis Tamora Queen of the Goths in tow and in chains. But when Rome’s rash and impetuous new Emperor decides not only to free her, but to marry her and make her his queen, she embarks upon a remorseless course of revenge. As she and Titus engage in an escalating cycle of violence and vengeance, the body count rises and Rome threatens to fall.

[Dayton]

Directed by David Senatore
Produced by Kathy Mola

DECISION HEIGHT tells the story of six Women’s Air Force Service Pilots (called WASPS) who flew aircraft during World War II.

The WASPS proved an important asset for the military, but have been largely forgotten in the history books.
