Returning to Rome from a war against the Goths, the general Titus Andronicus brings with him the queen Tamora and her three sons as prisoners of war. Titus' sacrifice of Tamora's eldest son to appease the ghosts of his dead sons, and his decision to refuse to accept the title of emperor, initiates a terrible cycle of mutilation, rape and murder. And all the while, at the centre of the nightmare, there moves the villainous, self-delighting Aaron. Fund raising event. The event will include a talk by Bill Alexander, director of the Stratford production and readings from the play itself by David Bradley in the role of Titus.| 31 Aug 03 | The Rose Playhouse Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
