Description

Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus was reimagined in South Africa by actor Antony Sher and director Gregory Doran. Their production at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg was a groundbreaking experiment, featuring a top multi-racial cast. The story behind this ambitious project is as fascinating as it is funny. From the Royal National Theatre Studio's historic visit to South Africa in 1994, to the rehearsals and controversy surrounding the play's opening, Sher and Doran share their extraordinary journey with wit and candour. This book offers a unique insight into the world of theatre in post-apartheid South Africa, as well as a personal account of Antony Sher's professional debut. It is a moving and often humorous portrait of the challenges and triumphs of bringing a classic play to life in a new and innovative way.
