I’ll find a day to massacre them all
War hero Titus Andronicus returns from twenty years of campaigning against Rome’s enemies to find his home divided by partisan squabbling. His attempts to restore order to the city he loves unleash the very forces that will tear both the city and his family to pieces, setting off a chain reaction of betrayal, murder and revenge that leaves no one unscathed.
Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedy, Titus Andronicus is a veritable parade of the Bard’s most inventive and grotesque deaths, mounted by a lean and agile cast playing multiple characters.

Reviews
"Bloody Shakespeare it might be, but it's one with a truly epic quality."
Christopher Moore
"This is a revenge play. It is brutal. It is sadistic. It is confrontational. If you want to be entertained, you best be prepared – this is visceral theatre at its most thrilling and unapologetic. It is brilliant."
Kate Divett
"They are a brave and resolute team that tackle this bloodthirsty play."
