by William Shakespeare

A kingdom in turmoil; a horrific crime unpunished; a bloody, merciless revenge.

Returning to Rome after ten years of battle, having lost twenty-one of his sons to achieve victory over the Goths, Roman general Titus Andronicus is ill-equipped to deal with the treacherous political atmosphere of an empire teetering on the edge of decline. His decision to sacrifice his defeated enemy's eldest son is a catalyst to brutal vendetta between Titus and Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, which reaches an extraordinary climax of bloodshed and violence.

Shakespeare's bloodiest drama is a devastating portrayal of the destructive capability, but also ultimate futility of vengeance. Set against a backdrop of a Roman Empire succumbing to decadence and excess, Titus Andronicus is a savage indictment of misogyny and racism, which will move and shock in equal measure.

Contains portrayals of violence including murder, mutilation and cannibalism, and references to rape.
