Frog & Peach Theatre Company is proud to announce their fall production, William Shakespeare's most deranged tragedy TITUS ANDRONICUS, which will star TV and Broadway actor Greg Mullavey (TV: Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Nickelodeon's iCarly; Broadway: Romantic Comedy opposite Mia Farrow, Neil Simon's Rumors; and The Soap Myth with Roundabout Theater Company).

In Shakespeare's startlingly modern tale of madness, betrayal, beheadings, and revenge, Titus Andronicus, proud General of Rome, has defeated the Goth Tribe to the North. Returning with his sons,living and dead, and The Goth Queen Tamora among his prisoners, Titus is welcomed back with pomp, circumstance and a special task - to select the new Roman Emperor. Will he choose the suave Bassianus, or the mercurial Saturninus? Rome's future hangs in the balance. But first, Titus demands the gruesome torture and sacrifice of Tamora's eldest son Alarbus in the public square right before her eyes. By nightfall, this first victim will seem the lucky one.

In its 20 years, some of the featured performers in Frog & Peach productions and readings have included Austin Pendleton, Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons, Academy Award-nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno, Tony & Emmy Award-winner Bebe Neuwirth, Fred Willard, Shirley Knight, Rip Torn, Tom Noonan, Susie Essman, Emmy-nominee Anna Chlumsky (Veep), 30 Rock cast members Scott Adsit & Maulik Pancholy, Alan Zweibel & SNL alum Darrell Hammond.

About The Company
Frog & Peach Theatre Company was founded in 1994 by Lynnea Benson & Ted Zurkowski, Lifetime Members of The Actors Studio and lifelong fans of Shakespeare's plays. Frog & Peach was born with an idea for making Shakespeare's plays accessible to everyone, regardless of income or diploma. Known for cinematic pace, thrills, and for never "dumbing down" the text, Frog & Peach has been turning regular New Yorkers into Shakespeare fans ever since.

TITUS ANDRONICUS will run from October 9-November 2 at The West End Theatre (263 W 86th St, 2nd Floor) with performances Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 3pm.
