...revenge melodrama that makes Hamlet pale in comparision. Set in ancient Rome, it traces the conflict between returning military hero Titus Andronicus (Padriac O'Reilly '98) and the late Emperor's son, Saturninus (Henry Clarke '00), to whom Titus cedes the throne. Trouble arises when Saturninus marries Tamora (Danielle Sherrod), Queen of the subjugated Goths, after being turned down by Titus' daughter, Lavinia, who instead marries Saturninus' younger brother Bassianus (Jesse Conrad '00). For Tamora bears a grudge against Titus and his sons for executing her own eldest son and is determined to seek vengeance. Various complications, and a great...

It's maddening...
...Jean-Claude Duvalier. I believe Mother Teresa accepted them because of the genuine good that would result from helping the poor. Human judgments must bow to divine judgment, and Mother Teresa more than anyone else understood the need to adopt that view.
