by William Shakespeare
Tue 16 Nov – Sat 20 Nov, Barons Court Theatre
A punchy reimagining of Shakespeare’s most brutal tragedy. This pacey, modern Titus explores the dangers of revenge and how it can twist the intentions of everyone it touches. Watch as this political dance descends into bloodshed and despair.
Titus follows the story of a war veteran who, having lost 21 sons in battle, returns to a Rome that betrays rather than celebrates his achievements. A series of bloody events unfolds as he and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, begin a violent cycle of revenge.
