One of Elizabethan audience's favorite Shakespearean bloodbaths, Titus Andronicus examines the extremities of vengeance. A cautionary tale of a tyrant reaping what he’s sown, our production presents the violence and cruelty of the play through metaphorical rendering, inviting the audience to shock themselves with their own brutal imaginings. Shakespeare's first attempt at the Tragedy genre, this story is as apt today as ever.
