Theater with risky twists: 4 reviews in a nutshell

Experimentation was the theme of the weekend as Valley theaters served up a 15-minute musical, short plays on wheels, and a bloody helping of Shakespeare with a side of fancy candy. Here is our latest batch of reviews-in-a-nutshell.

barely notice the 31⁄2-hour running time (with two intermissions). OK, maybe your backside will notice.

Details: Reviewed Sunday, Feb. 19. Continues through Sunday, March 12. Space 55, 636 E. Pierce St., Phoenix. $20. space55.org.

‘Titus Andronicus’ adds comic flavor to a bloody recipe

Bottom line: It’s not world-changing art, but sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
