Act 2, Scene 3

This is a power scene. Titus is rejected by the tribunes as he pleads for his condemned sons' lives, and is reduced to preaching to the paving stones. Then his daughter Lavinia is brought in, having been deprived of her hands and tongue. Then he learns he may be able to save his sons' lives by chopping of his left hand and sending it to the emperor. What is a loving father to do?

 As you can see from my Goalscape, I worked on 2:3 a LOT yesterday and today. About halfway through the scene during the rehearsal tonight, I will have to whip the script out of my pocket. I could in theory have learned more lines last night; but the passions in the scene are pretty intense and I was exhausted as if I had been boxing.
