Titus Andronicus: monologue performed by: Craig Bazan (watch in HD)

19 year old actor Craig Bazan performs monologue from William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

In the summer of 2007, I filmed Craig Bazan performing a monologue from Hamlet entitled "Hamlet on the Street" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa-cfEncd6Y ) across the street from his high school in Camden, NJ. The video went on to be featured on the front page of YouTube and on ABC News. Craig Bazan is now a theater major at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.

Titus Andronicus may be Shakespeare's earliest tragedy; it is believed to have been written sometime between 1584 and the early 1590s. It depicts a Roman general who is engaged in a cycle of revenge with his enemy Tamora, the Queen of the Goths. The play is by far Shakespeare's bloodiest work.

not bad, you came across as just arrogant/aggressive at the start, but more evil/destructive as the monologue went on.

@tessc007 I think it all depends. Not every unsettling speech has to be just spoken like it was nothing. Sometimes, depending on the actor, the production, the theatre, even the night, whatever is true for the actor is what is performed. I thought he found a lot of passion, and he found it by getting loud. I was intrigued. I know it was just a suggestion...I`m not dumping on you.

I liked it a lot. I thought you built the tension in the right place, and I thought that you paced your words well.

Your killing the verse, man.

I don't feel it, man. I don't feel depth.
