Titus Andronicus

“Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,

Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.”



The Bard's bloodiest play is about to get bloodier. Titus Andronicus is a gory revenge play, performed in the style of '80s horror, with a raunchy soundtrack, goths, PVC, twisted metal and fleeting but visceral gore. William Shakespeare meets slasher movie.



When Titus Andronicus returns from the war with his Goth prisoners, his brother Marcus wants him proclaimed emperor. Titus declines in favour of Saturninus, who takes Tamora, the Goth Queen as his bride. Tamora seeks revenge on Titus, and her daughters, encouraged by the evil Aaron, savagely assault Lavinia, Titus' daughter. From here, the violence escalates to a gruesome and tragic finale.



Full of fury, the bodies pile up in this unholy feast.
