Titus Andronicus
Our Autumn 2025 production is William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, adapted by Luke Mosley, directed by Luke Mosley and Ed Bancroft.
Adapted to a 1960s gangland setting, this Shakespearean tragedy deals with violence, murder, and retribution as the result of a ten-year war. The story revolves around Titus Andronicus' continued battle for vengeance between himself and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, whom Titus has taken captive, along with her sons, following the war’s end. Despite Tamora's desperate pleas, Titus sacrifices her eldest son to avenge his losses and appease Roman law. Distraught, Tamora and her two surviving sons vow to obtain revenge on Titus and his family.
This play contains strong violence, references to sexual assault and racism that some may find upsetting
