Rome is in decay. Corrupt, steeped in bloodshed and desensitised by the relentless cycle of war. The aristocracy, a bloody band of hand-to-hand warriors, turn on themselves. What ensues is a bloodbath of revenge, a dismemberment of humanity via the corruption of a state.
Set against the backdrop of a broken winter highway, civilisation as we know it lies in ruins. Titus and his family fight for The State, a post catastrophe re-invention where rules and laws no longer apply.
“…I’ll find a day to massacre them all,
And raze their faction and their family,
The cruel father and his traitorous sons
To whom I sue for my dear son’s life,
And make them know what ‘tis to let a queen
Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain."
TITUS ANDRONICUS features a cast of some of Sydney’s most seasoned Shakespearean actors as well as a throng of hot new talent in a new production by Kate Revz for CRY HAVOC based on the research of Peter Brook and Deborah Warner. An unmissable production.
