Two reviews from Tom and Robert, members of the Rep Company, Burnley Youth Theatre.
Robert
Viewing Titus Andronicus introduces the audience to a world of drama, bloodshed and revelations. The acting was of a very high standard from all the cast members allowign the performance to come to life. The transitions between the scenes were slick and well executed which shows a level of discipline and professionalism that should be in all productions. Tickets were £7.50 which for the Fringe is relatively cheap in comparison to show of a similar calibre. The gore elements to the show are brutal and also contain moments of an adult nature, which means that it isn't really suitable for a younger audience, however the price and quality make it well worth seeing whilst not being for the faint of heart.

A genius, gory, spectacular array of talent. Titus andronicus bring Rome to life in this epic Shakespearian tale of blood, lust, rape and interesting pie ingredients. The brilliant acting will make you sit on the edge of your seat, the skilled performances could bring a tear to a glass eye. The moments of laughter create an intriguing contrast to blood-soaked drama. An amazing performance - start to finish - breathtaking.
Both boys thought that the show would be suitable fro rural touring, that they would book them, and that the company were worth pursuing in the future.
