I actually HAVE seen Titus go the Swedish chef route, and it was VERY funny. It was the first time my partner had ever seen Titus, and he had no idea how to react to any of this, which was just as enjoyable to watch as the show itself.

I can just hear the inimitable Robert Morley! I think for many this play is hard to get a feel for, but when you think about how bloody the world was, it makes a lil more sense. Cattle were slaughtered in open markets, various animal fighting took place before and after plays, and the number of death penalty offenses under the law was considerable. War was person to person combat, or worse, chaotic, rioting battles of hacking others to death. Yes, I’m certain this play did cause a shock to early viewers, but perhaps not as thorough a shock as one might think.
