Michael D. Friedman's second edition of this stage history of
Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus adds an examination of twelve major
theatrical productions and one film that appeared in the years
1989-2009. Friedman identifies four lines of descent in the recent
performance history of the play: the stylised, realistic, darkly
comic, and political approaches, which culminate in Julie Taymor's
harrowing film Titus (1999). Aspects of Taymor's eclectic vision of
ancient Rome under the grip of modern fascism were copied by
several subsequent productions, making Titus the most
characteristic, as well as the most influential, contemporary
performance of the play. Friedman's work extends Alan Dessen's
original study to include Taymor's film, along with chapters
devoted to the efforts of international directors including Gregory
Doran, Silviu Purcarete, and Yukio Ninagawa. -- .
