At the first Seder, Lis was talking to our friend Akiva about the death speech, and comparing it to Barabas's "I'm Such A Badass" speech from Marlowe's "Jew of Malta".
I love Aaron's death speech. He's not just an Evil Bad Guy, he's an Evil Badass.
You can argue about how much of that speech is actually true and how much is him just fucking with Lucius, because, what the hell, he's going to die anyway. But in either case, it makes Aaron The Shit.
Titus is playing at the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington DC, through May 20th. I have no idea how easy or hard it is for you guys to get to DC for a weekend, but, if y'all have time and means, you may want to consider it. The above-named Akiva helped put it together. I also have no idea how their production will be.
Or, if you want to come to Boston, the ASP production, which is the one which I think is the best, is playing through the 22nd. . . I'd be willing to see it a second time with you and Undauntra. . .
