THE AARON PLAY picks up right where Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy, "Titus Andronicus" leaves off: with its self-proclaimed villain, Aaron the Moor, buried up to his chest in earth, sentenced to death by starvation. Watched by two Roman guards and visited by spirits of the wronged dead, Aaron plots to escape and reunite with his son. Tragic, darkly funny, and terrifyingly relevant, this fresh riff on Shakespeare's bloodiest play explores justice vs. vengeance, cycles of violence, and the cost of building an empire.

The cast includes Bruce Lemon, Jr. as Aaron, William Gray, Brian Monahan and Camila Rozo.

Written by Zachary Bones. Direction by Carly DW Bones.
