Royal Shakespeare Company: Titus Andronicus

Part of the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2017 series, filmed live on stage in the bard's home of Stratford-upon Avon and broadcast worldwide in cinemas.

"The decay of Rome reaches violent depths in Shakespeare’s most bloody play. Titus is a ruler exhausted by war and loss, who relinquishes power but leaves Rome in disorder. Rape, cannibalism and severed body parts fill the moral void at the heart of this corrupt society. Shakespeare’s gory revenge tragedy presents us with murder as entertainment, and, as the body count piles up, poses questions about the nature of sexuality, family, class and society. Blanche McIntyre returns to the RSC after her debut directing The Two Noble Kinsmen (2016)." (Royal Shakespeare Company)
