The Problem Plays: Titus Andronicus with Myrrh Larsen and Megan Skye Hale
How could we possibly talk about problem plays without mentioning Titus Andronicus? In this week’s bonus episode, Megan Skye Hale and Myrrh Larsen take a look at Shakespeare’s most violent play and talk about what it was like to produce it in 2023!
