Titus Andronicus at Shakespeare Theatre

This production brings Shakespeare's first tragedy to the stage, a revenge play that follows the Roman general Titus Andronicus as he returns from war with Tamora, Queen of the Goths, as his prisoner. The cycle of violence that ensues—including murder, mutilation, and betrayal—unfolds with the raw intensity that made the play a hit with 16th-century audiences.

Attendees can expect a visceral theatrical experience, as the drama explores themes of vengeance and justice through its famously bloody plot. The performance captures the play's dark atmosphere, from the political intrigue of imperial Rome to the brutal acts committed in the forest. It's a rare opportunity to see one of Shakespeare's most controversial works, which has seen a revival in reputation since the mid-20th century.
