WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO TITUS AND HIS FAMILY? A breakdown of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus ■ A Roman General named Titus Andronicus returns home after defeating the Goths with Queen of the Goths, Tamora, her three sons, and Aaron the Moore as his prisoners. ■ As with Rome’s bloody customs the people demand a blood sacrifice and Titus chooses Tamora’s oldest son to be killed. He sacrifices her son. ■ Since the Emperor died before the play starts the people of Rome select Titus to be their new Emperor but Titus doesn’t want the power so he declares that Saturninus should be the Emperor as he is the Emperor’s eldest son. ■ Saturninus wants to take Lavinia, Titus’ daughter as his bride but she wants to marry Bassianus who is Saturninus’ younger brother. One of Titus’ sons tries to intervene wanting to help his sister elope and Titus kills him. ■ Saturninus, upset that the Andronicus family (especially Lavinia) has wronged him, chooses Tamora as his bride. ■ Everyone agrees to go hunting the next day. ■ During the hunt, Aaron convinces Tamora’s two sons to stop fighting over who deserves Lavinia’s love and proposes that they rape her. ■ Aaron buries a bag of money under a tree. Tamora finds Aaron and they start making out as they are secretly lovers. Bassianus and Lavinia find them in the act and Tamora’s two sons kill Bassianus. Tamora lets her sons satisfy their lust with her. They take her off to another part of the forest, rape her, cut off her hands, and cut out her tongue. ■ Aaron leads Titus’ remaining two sons to a pit where Bassianus’ body is. One of them falls in the pit and then the tries to help him but falls in too. ■ Aaron brings Saturninus to the pit and produces a letter that implicates Titus’ sons in Bassianus’ murder. Saturninus, in turn, wants to kill Titus’ sons.

A DISCUS SION WITH MICHAEL KENNARD Explain it to me like a layman - what is bouffon? Bouffon is a theatrical style of clown/physical comedy. It is based on the medieval times when there were packs/gangs of outcasts that were spat on and stoned in order to remove them from society. They were the lepers, the hunchbacks, the rejected ones of society, which at the time were not considered the beautiful people. They were allowed back into society once a year where they came back with a vengeance with their weapons; charm, intelligence and parody.

It was the reality of imagining the tech week process underscored by fear and uncertainty, imagining set pieces and lighting instruments abandoned in the theatre, and imagining folks travelling to work that made us make the call. My phone call to Karen was my first tear-filled conversation as an AD to an artist. I couldn’t imagine her heartbreak. Deep down she knew - we all (maybe) knew - that we were holding onto impossible hope and had to let go.

COMMUNICATIONS 259 Lakeshore Blvd. East T: 416.910.7740 2nd Floor F: 416.944.8140 Toronto, Ontario, M5A 3T7 [email protected] T: 416.535.1870 x 236 F: 416.535.3414 [email protected] AWAY FROM HER SYNOPSIS AWAY FROM HER is the lyrical screenplay adaptation of celebrated author Alice Munro’s short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain”. AWAY FROM HER is a beautifully moving love story that deals with memory and the circuitous, unnamable paths of a long marriage. Married for 50 years, Grant (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona’s (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering, and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken only by the occasional, carefully restrained reference to the past, giving a sense that this marriage may not always have been such a fairy tale. This tendency of Fiona’s to make such references, along with her increasingly evident memory loss, creates a tension that is usually brushed off casually by both of them. As the lapses become more obvious and dramatic, it is no longer possible for either of them to ignore the fact that Fiona is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, Fiona decides that it is time for her to enter into Meadowlake, a retirement home that specializes in the disease.

Geordie (Thom Fitzgerald), a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan (Mihai Calota), a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie (Alberta Watson), the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest's abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars. 2 Production Notes From the Director… “Why did I want to make a film about dogs? (furrows his brow to think, then)…I like dogs. Life has taught me that all men are dogs and all women are bitches. Not every day, of course. But often enough to make a good movie about it. When you strip away the luxuries of wealth and culture, and see people struggling to survive, it confirms that people are animals. And then if you look closer, even when they are rich and cultured, they’re still animals. I was working in Romania on a teen slasher movie. The Hollywood executives kept calling and asking for the pretty young actresses to wear tighter shirts and more make-up.
