Play by Davion Tynarious Brown
Island Shakespeare Festival: Marcellus Andronicus – The Curse of House Andronici | October 9 – November 1
Years after Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, Aaron the Moor’s surviving son has grown up as Marcellus Andronicus, adopted into the very family his father once helped destroy. Now poised to inherit the future of Rome, Marcellus begins searching for the truth about the past that has been hidden from him.
But some histories refuse to stay buried.
A gripping Shakespearean ghost story about family, identity, inheritance, and the terrifying question of how much of our parents lives on in us.
