299. The Cup | Titus (1999) | Screened Plays

Welcome back to the 299th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 299th episode we bring you a a new instalment of our subseries 'Screened Plays'. This time we are covering Titus (1999), directed by Julie Taymor, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins as the titular Titus and two-time Academy Award winner Jessica Lange as Tamora, based on William Shakespeare's tragic play Titus Andronicus. Join Co-Artistic Producer Mackenzie Horner and his amazing co-panelist the returning Graeme McClelland, as they discuss whether Taymor’s unique directorial stylistic choices worked, if the film’s violence went too far or if it didn’t go far enough, and they dive into the memorable 2011 Stratford Festival production they both saw in their youth.Follow our panelists: Mackenzie Horner (Before the Downbeat: A Musical Podcast) – Instagram/Facebook: BeforetheDownbeatApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3aYbBeNSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3sAbjAuGraeme McClelland – Instagram: instagraeme999 // Facebook: Graeme McClelland Follow Cup of Hemlock Theatre on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @cohtheatre
