Show notes
If you know the name of any theatre from Shakespeare's time, it's probably the Globe. But it's another theatre from that era – the Red Bull - that's the namesake for one of today's preeminent producers of early modern English drama in the United States. Now they're preparing for the March 17 th opening of one of Shakespeare's lesser-known – and extremely gruesome – dramas, Titus Andronicus , starring Patrick Page. Jesse Berger, who founded the Red Bull in 2003 and continues to serve as its Producing Artistic Director, joins us to tell us about the theatre and the upcoming production, which he directed.
